Tahini salad

I love this salad as side dish all year around, but especially in summer with lettuce and carrots from the garden.


4 romaine heads, cut into half or quarters, or just leaves, as you desire
4 carrots, thinly sliced
fresh jalapeños or chili

dressing:
40 g tahini
1 garlic clove, grated
1 tsp freshly grated organic orange zest
1/2 tsp orange blossom water
40 ml cold water
1 tbsp olive oil
sea salt to taste 
pepper to taste

In a bowl, add tahini, garlic, zest, orange blossom water and mix. Add 10 ml of water and mix. It will thicken. Add more water and mix again. Add oil, salt and pepper.

In a bowl, place the lettuce, carrots and pour over the dressing. Top with chilies or jalapeños if you like spice.
