Learn how to prepare a delicious salad with sweet Tahini dressing to accompany a healthy meal that you can take advantage of on any occasion.
Ingredients for the salad:
- 3 cups shredded or chopped cabbage.
- 1 cup grated carrots (about 1 large carrot).
- 3/4 cup grated cucumber (with peel).
- 1/2 cup sweet onion, thinly sliced.
- 1/4 cup sweet onion, grated.
- 1 1/4 cups finely chopped parsley (stems too!).
- 1/2 cup unshelled hemp seeds, organic.
- Optional: chopped walnuts and / or raisins or dried cranberries.
Sweet Tahini Dressing:
Note: Make sure you have your tahini well stored – you’ll want a light one to serve. If the tahini is too dry you will have to add a little oil to loosen it.
Ingredients for the dressing:
- 2 tablespoons of Tahini (buy it already made or make it)how to make tahini at home.
- 2 tablespoons of pure honey.
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar.
- Juice of 1 small lemon.
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder.
- Salt and pepper to taste.
Instructions:
- The salad is pretty simple. Just chop and add everything to a large bowl. Mix the vegetables and they are ready to mix with the dressing.
- Dressing: Again, easy! Combine all the ingredients and stir until everything is combined. Taste and add salt and pepper to taste. Actually just add a pinch of salt – it really doesn’t take much with all the vinegar and lemon juice flavor. Stir well until the dressing is creamy.
- Mix the salad with the dressing. Use as much or little dressing as you like.
Serve immediately. If you want to make this salad ahead of time – you may want to chop the cabbage instead of shredding – shredding makes the salad soggy. But if you use a thicker cabbage – it will stay nice and cool chilled in the fridge.
