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.
Cucumber
Cucumbers are a great veggie to use in a salad because they are crispy and very hydrating. Add that was radish and tomato and you have the perfect blend of sweet and pepper. The tahini really rounds everything out, so give it a try!
