Notes

Tips for Success

- If the dressing is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time until reaches desired consistency. If the dressing is to thin, add 1 tablespoon of tahini at a time until reaches desired consistency.
- If you don’t love raw broccoli, blanch it quickly! Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add chopped broccoli and cook for 1 minute. Immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Drain well before adding to the salad.
