Ingredients

Dressing Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp tahini, or another nut/seed butter
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp water, more or less
  • 1 clove fresh garlic, pressed, use a small clove
  • 1 tbsp fresh basil, finely chopped (or 2 tsp dried)

Salad Ingredients

  • 1 cup alfalfa sprouts, or a chopped fresh green
  • 1 Tbsp green onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup broccoli, chopped
  • 1/4 cup cucumber, chopped
  • 1/4 cup bell pepper, chopped
  • 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 1 tbsp nori, optional, cut in strips

Instructions

  • Whisk together the tahini and balsamic until it thickens, then add enough water to thin it out. (Alternatively you can put all 3 into a small blender and puree.)
  • Stir in the garlic and basil, drizzle some of the dressing onto your salad and save the rest for later. I make this in a big batch to last through the week, though the measurements here are a smaller batch.
  • Lay the sprouts out on a plate and top with the veggies, seeds and raisins. Drizzle with dressing and enjoy.
