My old buds (and by buds, I mean the dudes in the back who do all the cooking) at "The Spot" in Hermosa used to whip this bad-boy up for me. They knew how to make it best for some reason but I won't give up trying to replicate it. We make this a few times a month when we really don't want to labor over dinner. O.k., it does take a few more minutes than fast food but you won't keel over afterwards. I really need to be eating more raw foods and this has so much good stuff and is so light but you're not hungry afterwards, so... it works.
Quick Salad w/ Tahini Dressing & Corn Tortillas
Lettuce ( I like romaine best)
Shredded beets
Shredded carrots
Sliced Cucumbers
Sliced Avocados
Garbanzo or black beans (drained and rinsed). Handful or two.
Nutritional yeast sprinkled on top (or in my case- loaded; love the stuff)
Organic Corn Tortillas (steamed)
Tahini Dressing
A few tablespoons of raw tahini (this stuff has a nice amount calcium and good fats for babies/toddlers)
Squeeze (or two or three) of lemon
Splash of tamari (healthier version of soy sauce; look for non-gmo)
Shake of garlic powder
Shake of sea salt
Shake (be careful kids!) of cayenne pepper
Add water (a tablespoon at a time until you get the consistency you want)
Mix all ingredients in a small bowl and stir really well. You kindof have to play with the amount of water you want. It should be the consistency of salad dressing (although I think it's best a wee bit thicker) and it stirs up weird so be patient and just add more water, if needed.
