Chef's Notes
Citrus-Tahini Dressing Recipe here .
Substitutions As a substitute for the bell pepper or cucumber, you could also try: 1 cup grated carrot, 1 cup blanched sliced asparagus, 1 cup diced avocado (not too ripe, with some firmness), or 1 cup halved organic cherry or grape tomatoes.
Salad Booster Try adding in ½ – 1 cup of black beans or chickpeas, or organic cubed tempeh or tofu. You will want to use a touch more dressing with extra ingredients like this.
