Carrot Salad with Spicy Sweet Tahini Dressing
Healthy Spicy and Sweet Tahini Dressing that is oil-free, perfect for salads, veggies or even tacos. Made with healthy wholesome ingredients!
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 6 long carrots, spiralized or shredded (175 g)
- 1 large red bell pepper, cut into thin strips (160 g)
- 5 loosely filled cups romaine lettuce, roughly chopped (110 g)
- 1/4-1/2 cup raw sunflower kernels
SPICY SWEET TAHINI DRESSING
- 1/4 cup smooth/runny tahini
- 1/4 cup coconut aminos This is recommended because it has a sweetness to it, unlike other soy sauce alternatives, this is what gives the dressing a hint of sweet flavor
- 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon quality hot sauce
Instructions
- Prepare all of the veggies by chopped and spiralizing/shredding.
- To make the dressing, simply combine the ingredients and whisk until smooth. Add water if needed to thin out. I use a very smooth tahini, so it was the perfect consistency. Taste and add any salt if desired. My tahini has a little salt in it and of course the hot sauce and aminos both have sodium, so there was no need to add extra salt.
- I've also eaten this salad with cannellini beans, so you can always add those if you want an extra filling salad or additional protein.
