TASTEFUL TAHINI SALAD DRESSING
I hate mayo, but I love hummus and tahini. People are always asking for the recipe. The tahini gives it a Middle Eastern feel and the lemon, garlic, and ginger flavors really give it a kick! Easy to make, just needs a blender or a food processor. Experiment by adding a bit more lemon or a bit less garlic, or adding ground mint. Works well on anything, especially on simple salads.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large non-stick wok. Add the sweet potato and fry for 5 mins, stirring frequently until it starts to soften. If it starts to brown too quickly, put a lid on the pan. Add the carrot, courgette, onion, cumin and ginger, then cook over a high heat, stirring frequently, until the veg is tender and a little charred. Stir in the seeds towards the end so they cook for a couple of mins. Remove from the heat and add the lentils, bouillon powder, lemon zest, mint and parsley.
- Meanwhile, stir the tahini with the garlic, yogurt and 1 tbsp water to make a dressing. Spoon the lentil salad into bowls and top with the dressing and paprika, if using. If you're following our Healthy Diet Plan, save two portions stored in containers and chill until ready to eat.

Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables to add color, texture, and flavor to your salad. Try using a mix of fresh, crunchy vegetables like carrots, cucumbers, and bell peppers, along with softer vegetables like tomatoes and zucchini.
- For a more flavorful salad, marinate the vegetables in the dressing for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the vegetables to absorb the flavors of the dressing and make them more tender.
- If you don't have time to marinate the vegetables, you can simply toss them with the dressing just before serving. Be sure to coat the vegetables evenly with the dressing so that they are all flavorful.
- Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. If you are chilling the salad, be sure to bring it to room temperature before serving so that the flavors can fully develop.
- Garnish the salad with fresh herbs, crumbled feta cheese, or toasted nuts for an extra touch of flavor and color.
Conclusion:
This diced vegetable salad with tahini dressing is a healthy and delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its vibrant colors and refreshing flavors, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
