Creamy Tahini Salad

This bright, vibrant and nutrient packed dinner is perfect for when I have a ton of veggies in my fridge, and no time to cook. It's also one of my husbands all time favorite meals. The dressing for this salad is so great because it's oil free! The tahini is packed with natural sesame oil so there's no need to add more. I love this salad as leftovers for lunch the following day.

Feel free to sub out the cabbage for any lettuce or cruciferous vegetable you have on hand! If you're missing a vegetable or don't like one, it is ok, leave it out. I do however advise following the dressing recipe to a T.
