Instructions

TAHINI DRESSING:

  1. Start by making the dressing.
  2. Place all the ingredients into a small mason jar or a bowl and mix with a spoon to combine. It should be creamy and somewhat thick. Add more water to thin it out if desired.

SALAD BOWL:

  1. Start by cooking the rice according to package information. While that's cooking, shred and dice the vegetables.
  2. Let the rice cool down a bit before serving.

Plate it:

  1. Divide the lettuce between the bowls and add about 1/2 cup of the cooked rice into each bowl.
  2. Drizzle each salad with 1 tsp or so of the dressing and mix.
  3. Start adding all the vegetables into the bowls in any order you like.
  4. Add a spoonful of hummus to each bowl if desired.
  5. Drizzle each salad with the dressing and decorate with sesame seeds.
  6. Best enjoyed immediately.

Notes

- The tahini dressing will thicken when you put it in the fridge. Add a tablespoon or so of water to thin it out.
