Tahini Caesar
This tahini caesar is a fun twist on the classic caesar salad. It's packed with healthy fats, protein and some non traditional additions like sesame seeds to up the flavor profile. Plus it's gluten free and dairy free!
Ingredients
- 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cups greens of choice
- ½ cup microgreens
- 3 tbsp hemp seeds
- 3 tbsp sesame seeds
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
Tahini Caesar Dressing
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- ⅓ cup tahini
- ½ lemon, juice
- ½ tbsp minced, garlic
- dash coconut aminos
- 1 oil packed anchovy
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425. Toss broccoli with olive oil, salt and pepper. Spread on a greased baking sheet and bake for about 15-20 minutes. Tear or chop lettuce into bite sized pieces.
- In a large bowl, toss broccoli with lettuce and microgreens.
- In a high speed blender, combine all dressing ingredients and blend until smooth. Add cool water to reach desired thickness.
- Drizzle dressing over salad and toss until fully mixed. Sprinkle with hemp seeds, sesame seeds, and some fresh herbs. Option to serve with your protein of choice. I love doing mine with wild caught salmon.
Notes
- Serve as a side salad or as a main dish with your choice of protein.
- Store salad and dressing separately in airtight containers in the fridge.
