finished Lemon Tahini Broccoli SaladThis crisp and super fresh veggie-packed salad is perfect for the summer. I like to make a big batch and keep it in the fridge. It keeps well for a few days, with the flavours intensifying each day. Enjoy it as a side salad or as your main course on warm days.

My recipe uses little pasta to keep the simple-carb count a bit lower. I added chickpeas to replace them because I find they have a similar texture. You could add more pasta if you like.

Total Time: 30 minutes

Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients:

  • 5 Tbsp tahini
  • 3 Tbsp water
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 oz dry pasta
  • 8 cups broccoli florets
  • 3 zucchini
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes
  • 1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 4 Tbsp hulled pumpkin seeds
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 fresh basil leaves
ingredients
 

Steps:

  1. Begin by cooking your pasta to package directions. To make the lemon tahini sauce, whisk the tahini, water, lemon juice, lemon zest and salt in a bowl. Grate in the garlic cloves and mix. Set aside so flavours develop.
  2. grating garlic into dressing

Thanks for posting this. I love this salad but don't purchase it very often at the deli as it is way too expensive. Now I can make it myself! Thanks again!

was way too much sugar for me . . . cut in half, was still too much; dressing was much thicker than what I get at my WalMart, but I have to chop theirs up more so I can eat it since I don't have any teeth. Thanks, it;s a start though.
