LEMON TAHINI SALAD DRESSING



Lemon Tahini Salad Dressing image

Delicious over mixed greens. Add cucumbers and radishes if you like. I found the dressing to be a bit runny, so make sure your tahini is rich and full, if not, don't add as much water. Either way, the taste is yummy and not your ordinary dressing. As chef blucoat chef #225426 so eloquently pointed out, this recipe comes from Gourmet 2002. I had written it down on a deposit slip and failed to note where it came from. Thanks Blucoat.

Categories     Salad     Green Salad Recipes     Romaine Lettuce Salad Recipes

Time 1h10m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons za'atar seasoning
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ pound chicken tenders
6 cups torn, bite-sized romaine lettuce
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 cucumber, peeled and diced
½ cup shredded carrot
1 lemon, zested and juiced
4 tablespoons tahini
4 tablespoons water, or more as needed
2 cloves garlic
1 dried date, minced
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint

Steps:

  • Mix 2 tablespoons lemon juice, olive oil, za'atar, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a gallon-sized plastic zip-top bag. Add chicken tenders and refrigerate, turning occasionally, 30 minutes to 12 hours.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Place chicken tenders on the grate, reduce heat to medium, and cover. Grill until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a tender registers 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 4 to 5 minutes per side.
  • Remove chicken from grill and let rest. Prepare the salad in the meantime; place romaine pieces in a large bowl and add tomatoes, bell pepper, cucumber, and carrot.
  • Combine lemon zest and juice, tahini, water, garlic, and date in the bowl of a mini food processor or a blender. Pulse several times, adding water by tablespoons if necessary, until desired consistency is achieved. Season with salt and pepper. Pour dressing into the salad bowl and toss.
  • Divide salad between plates. Slice each chicken tender crosswise into 1/4-inch slices and place over the salads. Garnish with chives and mint.
