TIPS FOR THE BEST SALAD AND DRESSING:

• The tahini makes it creamy but don’t use the stiff stuff in the bottom of the jar.
• Blend ingredients in a large glass measuring cup, Mason jar or bowl with deep sides.
• Toss the salad in a larger bowl than you think you may need so you can toss well and make sure the ingredients are evenly distributed without spilling it over the sides.
• The dressing ingredients blend well by shaking or whisking but you can also use an immersion blender.
