As part of my season eating summertime strategy, I love having delicious salads on hand as a side dish. Making a composed plate of three to four salads can be a wonderful way to have a nutrient dense veggie rich meal.
This particular salad is crunchy, refreshing, and perfect for the season. I think it's even amazing as a meal all by itself.
The tahini dressing is fabulous; it can easily be doubled or tripled and stored in the refrigerator to have on hand for any salad.
