Meatless Monday’s: Superfood Tahini Salad

When you hear “superfood salad,” you might think of something bland and boring—but this Superfood Tahini Salad is anything but. It’s a crunchy, colorful bowl bursting with earthy baby kale, crisp radishes, and sweet carrots, all tied together with a creamy, zesty tahini dressing that’s downright addictive. The moment the tang of lemon meets the nutty depth of tahini, you know you’re about to experience something special.

This salad is more than just a side dish—it’s a nutrient powerhouse that doubles as a satisfying meal. Baby kale and microgreens pack antioxidants and fiber, carrots bring natural sweetness, and radishes give a peppery kick that keeps every bite interesting. Then there’s the dressing: silky tahini balanced with garlic, honey, and a touch of cayenne for heat. It’s bold, it’s balanced, and it proves that eating clean doesn’t mean sacrificing flavor.

Whether you’re looking to refresh your weeknight dinner routine, prep a quick lunch that actually excites you, or serve a vibrant dish that impresses at a potluck, this salad has your back. Simple, nourishing, and oh-so-delicious—this is the kind of “superfood” you’ll crave again and again.
