Baby Spinach Tahini Salad

While traveling this weekend to my high school reunion, my sister and I stopped for a quick lunch at a really good salad shop called SweetGreen in Georgetown.  I ordered the Chic P because of my intense love of tahini.  Whether in hummus or in tahini dressing, tahini just hits the spot for me. 

Now home again in Texas, I had a big urge for a nice salad for lunch - with tahini dressing, of course.  So I improvised the tahini dressing, with excellent results:


Tahini Salad Dressing:
1/2 tablespoon tahini paste
3/4 tablespoon olive oil
3/4 tablespoon lemon juice
garlic powder and salt to taste

serving size: 2 tablespoons (you might not need this much)
approx calories: 155
approx fat grams: 16

I put this dressing on baby spinach and added some avocado and a few walnut halves. 

Delicious!  I'd have included a photo but I couldn't wait to eat it.
