Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray. Place garbanzo beans in a single layer on the baking sheet. Place into oven and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven; add olive oil and chili lime seasoning. Gently toss to combine. Place into oven and bake until crisp and dry, an additional 15-17 minutes. Turn off oven and open door slightly; cool completely in oven for 1 hour. Place eggs in a large saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute. Cover eggs with a tight-fitting lid and remove from heat; set aside for 8-10 minutes. Drain well and let cool before peeling and cutting the eggs in half lengthwise.

Steps:

• Cook rice (or other grain) and lentils according to package directions; lentils should take approximately 35 to 45 minutes.
• Drain and set aside.
• Prepare the Tahini Lemon Garlic Sauce (see below).
• In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the red onion for a few minutes. Add the garlic, red pepper, capers and sundried tomatoes, sauté until the onions and peppers have softened, being careful not to burn the garlic.
• Add in the cooked lentils and Tahini Lemon Garlic Sauce and bring the skillet up to medium high heat. Cook until the sauce begins to bubble, then add in the tomato, cucumber, kale and sauté until kale begins to wilt. (I might try leaving the cucumber and maybe tomato raw in this recipe).
• Remove from heat and mix in the parsley, season with salt and pepper.
• Portion rice in bowls and place lentil mixture over top. Garnish with olives and lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• For the dressing: Add the basil, yogurt, chives, parsley, lemon juice, lemon zest, scallion whites, jalapeno, garlic and 3/4 teaspoon salt to a mini food processor. Pulse until roughly combined (about 10 times), scraping down the sides halfway through. With the motor running, drizzle in the oil until the dressing is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides occasionally. Transfer the dressing to a small bowl, cover with plastic wrap and keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
• For the toppings: Toss the broccoli florets, oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt on a baking sheet. Bake until some parts are charred but still bright green, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool, about 10 minutes.
• Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. (This pot will be used to cook the snap peas, asparagus and noodles.) Prepare a large bowl of ice water.
• Add the snap peas to the pot of boiling water and cook until crisp but still bright green, about 30 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and plunge them into the bowl of ice water. Drain when fully cooled, about 1 minute.
• Add the asparagus to the pot of boiling water and cook until crisp but still bright green, about 1 minute. Remove with a slotted spoon and plunge them into the bowl of ice water. Drain when fully cooled, about 1 minute.
• Cook the rice noodles per package instructions. Rinse with cold water and drain well. Transfer to a medium bowl and toss with 1/4 cup of the green goddess dressing.
• To serve, divide the noodles between bowls. Top with the broccoli, snap peas, asparagus, cucumber, scallion greens and sliced avocado. Generously drizzle the remaining green goddess dressing all over and serve
