Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Spread the chopped bread on a baking tray and drizzle with a little olive oil, then bake for about 10-15 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chickpeas, diced beets, sliced radishes, and fresh mint.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth. Adjust consistency with water if needed.
- Pour the tahini dressing over the chickpea mixture and toss gently until evenly coated.
- Once the croutons are ready, add them to the salad and mix once more.
- Serve the salad in a large bowl with lemon wedges on the side, and add optional toppings like crumbled feta cheese or sliced avocado if desired.

Notes
If you're looking for a gluten-free option, substitute the whole-grain bread with gluten-free croutons or a mix of quinoa and additional vegetables.
For storage, keep the salad and dressing separate until ready to serve to avoid sogginess, and enjoy leftovers within two days.
