]]> Tahini is an amazing product to keep on hand at all times. This ground sesame paste is a Middle Eastern staple that can be used in all sorts of dishes. The best thing about tahini is how quickly you can turn it into a salad dressing not only for flavor but for added protein and healthy fats! Just mix together tahini, lemon juice, water, and garlic, and you have your dressing. Now put it on top of these veggie combinations and you have a filling and satisfying dish!

Carrot Salad

Carrots can be difficult to use in salads because of their hard and crunchy nature. But, by grating them large they are much more manageable in a salad. Combine with tomatoes, olives, and pour over tahini and you are set!

Veggie Antipasto

Roasted or even grill some vegetables like pepper, red onion, and zucchini would make for an amazing side dish. Pour over that tahini and you’ll be in heaven.

Sandwiches should always have a spread as it is essential to maintain a level of moisture they desperately need. However, using fatty and calorie-heavy like ingredients mayonnaise or butter sandwiches can easily turn into an unhealthy meal. In order to avoid that, use one of these alternatives so you can enjoy lunchtime without paying for it later.

Avocado

Everyone knows avocado is great in guacamole, but it can be just as great as a spread. Spread it as thick or thin as you want, add lime juice and you have a creamy component with all the right kinds of fat.

Pesto

https://www.instagram.com/p/BheAfJMn2Ul/?tagged=homemadepesto

Pesto is a great alternative because it provides an herbaceous flavorful element to any sandwich. Pesto is a great way to make a plain sandwich more exciting, and the herbs and garlic in it give it a health boost as well.

Tahini

Tahini is a ground sesame paste originating from the middle east. This nutty spread is great for Asian inspired sandwiches but can be flavored to fit any type of cuisine. A simple way to tone down the nuttiness is to add just a bit of water and lemon juice.

Hummus

Hummus is one of the easiest ways to not only add flavor to a sandwich but also protein. A tangy blend of chickpeas, lemon juice, garlic, tahini and olive oil, it is rich in protein, fiber and healthy fats.
