A mediocre salad dressing can spell demise for what otherwise may be a lovely salad. When in doubt, I pull out my secret ingredient: ✨tahini✨. The only trick here is that you have to use a good-quality, hulled tahini.
If you don’t like coriander then any other leafy herb works well here; for example, you could use parsley or basil.
Ingredients
Dressing
- 4 tbsp lemon juice
- 3-4 tbsp tahini
- 1 small garlic clove, crushed
- 2cm ginger, peeled and grated
- salt and black pepper
Salad
- 40g fresh coriander, roughly chopped
- 100g fresh spinach
- 100g multileaf lettuce
- 1 red pepper
- 1 spring onion, finely sliced
Instructions
- Whisk together all the ingredients for the dressing and add about 1/4 tsp salt and as much black pepper as you please.
- Take the pepper and dice about two-thirds of it (save the rest for a tasty treat!). Place it in a large bowl and mix with coriander, spinach, lettuce and spring onion.
- When you are ready to serve, mix the salad gently with dressing so that the salad is nicely coated.
