I warned you didn’t I?! I just can’t get enough of salads right now!!
This has been a favorite for me this week for lunches, a full-meal deal on the lighter side!
The lemon-tahini dressing could be served along side a variety of different salads and vegetables, and I bet it would be a good meat marinade too!
For you less-adventurous kitchen folk out there, tahini is a toasted sesame paste: a good staple to have around!! You can get it in most natural foods sections in a peanut butter-style jar!
Serves about 4-6 (the dressing) which is about 180 calories per serving in the dressing only.
