Awesome, thanks so much for reading my post @texagonia!
As promised:
RECIPE
Ingredients
Curry Tahini Dressing:
1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup coconut milk (or for a lighter option you can use Greek yogurt if not vegan)
3 tablespoons tahini
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon cumin
1 tablespoon curry powder
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or more to taste
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Salad:
4 large carrots, shredded (about 2 cups)
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups cooked lentils, rinsed well
1 1/2 cups raw cauliflower florets, roughly chopped
1/4 head Napa cabbage, roughly chopped
2 cups, shelled spring peas
1/3 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
1 pomegranate, just the arils/seeds
2 green onions, diced
Instructions
Curry Tahini Dressing:
- Combine all the ingredients in a jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake it very well to mix. Another method is to just mix it in a bowl with a whisk and both methods work fine but I usually go for the jar because you can then store it as it is in your fridge (-> Less dishes!)
Salad:
- Set aside a small portion of the pomegranate arils, green onions, and pistachios for topping, then toss all the ingredients for the salad together in a large bowl.
- When ready to serve add the dressing and toss the salad to coat everything, or if preferred you can serve the dressing on the side.
- Store the dressing and salad separately in air-tight containers in the fridge until ready to serve. It should stay pretty fresh like that for up to 3 days (I've actually kept it longer and it was still great.), but salads are best fresh.
#boom!!!! Thanks for sharing the ingredients & directions! This is wonderful!
