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.

Different and delicious! Made a wonderful lunch. Tahini is an interesting ingredient choice which gives the dressing a slightly creamy texture. For best results, make the dressing ahead and use fresh lemon juice. I used dried dill and reduced the amount called for accordingly, and would reduce the sea salt next time. Lovely combination of colors and textures. Served over baby spinach which is what I had in the fridge. Definitely not your mother's Waldorf salad! I'll make this one again. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
