Tahini Walnut Salad Recipe

As we embrace the vibrant spirit of summer, we're excited to introduce our tantalizing Summer Salad Tahini Walnut recipe, featuring our premium walnuts. This delightful salad not only captures the essence of the season but also offers a quick and easy meal option, perfect for busy days or meal prep sessions.

Crafted with care and bursting with flavor, our Summer Salad Tahini Walnut recipe is a celebration of fresh, wholesome ingredients that come together harmoniously in every bite. Crisp salad leaves serve as the base, providing a nutritious canvas for the star of the show – our exquisite walnuts. These crunchy delights add a rich, nutty depth to the salad, elevating its taste and texture to new heights.

Did you know that walnuts are not only delicious but also packed with essential nutrients? These mighty nuts are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and fiber, making them a powerhouse of nutrition. Incorporating walnuts into your diet can support heart health, aid in weight management, and even boost brain function.

But it's not just the walnuts that make this salad shine. The creamy tahini-based dressing lends a velvety smoothness and a hint of savory goodness, perfectly complementing the array of veggies included. Together, they create a symphony of flavors that dance on your palate with each mouthful.

What makes our Summer Salad Tahini Walnut recipe truly versatile is its adaptability. While we highly recommend the indulgent crunch of walnuts, feel free to explore other nutty options such as pecans or chopped cashews. Whichever nut you choose, rest assured, you're in for a delightful culinary journey.

Instructions

1. Prep the veggies.
   Wash, chop, slice — the whole colorful crew. Add the greens to a large bowl and layer the veggies on top.

2. Toast the walnuts (optional, but wow).
   Warm a dry skillet over medium heat and toast the walnuts for 2–3 minutes until just fragrant. This step isn’t required, but the nutty aroma is chef’s kiss.

3. Make the tahini dressing.
   In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, maple syrup/honey, garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add water a little at a time until you reach your perfect pourable consistency.

4. Assemble the salad.
   Add the walnuts to the bowl, drizzle generously with tahini dressing, and toss until everything is lightly coated. (Or keep the dressing on the side if you're meal prepping.)

5. Serve and enjoy.
   Finish with fresh herbs, more walnuts, or extra lemon for brightness. Eat it immediately, or pack it up for an easy grab-and-go summer lunch.
