This dressing is ingenius. I love how the tahini allows for a creamy consistency without dairy.

WOW! 27* recipe, dressing AND salad.I used apple juice to thin the dressing. Never would have thought of tahini but it's perfect for the apple.

What I liked about this salad was how easy it was to prepare! I made it for lunch at work and was happy with how easily it kept during the morning while I was working. I left off the walnuts (allergy) and substituted sunflower seeds instead. They worked out quite well! Thank you Msmia for a tasty light salad.
