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.
- Time saving tip: buy pre-chopped broccoli florets. Be sure to cut them down into bite-size pieces before adding to the salad.
- 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.
- Want more protein? Add chickpeas, air fryer chicken cubes, or even a steamed hard-boiled egg on top to make it more filling.
