Tahini salad dressing

This is our house favorite dressing. With just a right amount of tangy taste and creamy texture, this salad brings mouthful of fresh, crisp goodness with every bite. It is not only easy and quick to fix but filling too :) Mix it with your favorite veggies and enjoy without guilt. I found it best to be paired with baby spinach though.

Serving size: 2

Ingredients:
2 tbs tahini sauce (make sure to buy a good brand or make your own at home from sesame seeds)
2 tbs EVOO (Extra Vergin Olive oil) ( select light in the flavor to keep tahini as a main flavor or you can use VOO )
3.5 tbs fresh lemon juice
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper powder

Mix all ingredients in a bowl and make an even paste. Add in mixture of salad veggies of your likes and mix well. We like it with baby spinach, cherry tomato and cucumber. But you can basically add in whatever you like. Serve immediately with main course or just as it is :)
