For Salad:
1/2 pound dry pasta, any shape
1 cup chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1 1/2 cups chopped spinach leaves
For the Dressing:
2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic scapes, or 1 clove garlic, peeled and finely minced
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon tahini
3 to 4 tablespoons water
Pinch red pepper flakes, to taste
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt, to taste
Add pasta to a large pot of boiling salted water and cook according to package directions. Drain cooked pasta and return to pot. Stir in rinsed and drained chickpeas as well as baby spinach leaves. The residual heat of the pasta will cook spinach down a bit.
Make dressing by whisking together chopped garlic scapes or minced garlic, olive oil, fresh lemon juice, sesame paste, water, red pepper flakes, dried oregano, ground black pepper, and salt.
Toss pasta, spinach, and chickpeas with dressing and serve at room temperature.

For the salmon:
1 1/2 pounds skinless salmon fillet
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon finely chopped oregano
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 ounces roasted bell peppers from a jar, thinly sliced
For the salad:

Meanwhile, make the salad:
Step 2
Set a steamer basket in a large pot filled with 2″ water. Cover pot and bring water to a boil. Add potatoes, cover, and steam until tender, 10–12 minutes. Add asparagus to potatoes, cover, and steam until crisp-tender, 3–5 minutes.
Step 3
Meanwhile, whisk oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, pepper, and 1/4 cup dill in a small bowl or measuring cup. Toss escarole with half of the dressing in a large bowl, then transfer to a serving platter.
Step 4
Toss potatoes and asparagus with remaining dressing in same bowl, then arrange over escarole. Flake salmon into large pieces and arrange on platter. Top with feta, peppers, and dill sprigs.
