Tahini Salad

I don't remember where I originally found this recipe, but I do know it is absolutely delicious! I've made it several times and it's a great vegetarian dish that's quite healthy. This is also a very easy thing to make, considering it is a salad and salads are the type of thing anyone can make.


INGREDIENTS

Dressing:

• 1/2 avocado (I usually skip the avocado completely)
• 1 1/2 tbsp Manitoba Harvest Hemp oil
• 1 tbsp stone ground mustard
• 3 tbsp chickpea reserve water
• 2 tsp tahini
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• 1/4 tsp ground coriander
• 1/4 tsp herbamare

Salad:

• 4 cups romaine mix
• 1 cup chickpeas – reserve liquid for dressing
• 1 cucumber
• 1 yellow pepper (Really, any color will be fine, I just like the color the yellow adds to the salad)
• 1 small bag of baby carrots, chopped 
• 1celery stalk, chopped

DIRECTIONS
For the dressing, combine all of the ingredients. Whisk all ingredients until they are blended thoroughly. For the salad, well, make a salad. When you have the base for your salad ready, add the dressing.

Enjoy!
