Rainbow Salad with Tangy Tahini Dressing

The latest nutritional thinking goes that the more color you have in your diet the more vitamins you're ingesting.  Whether you like to focus on the many ways you can enhance your diet nutritionally or you're just a fan of color, either way you can consider salad a great way to paint with food.  This salad is rich with color, nutrients, and flavor; we hope it makes your taste buds pop!

For 1 Serving:

Veggies
2 large leaves red- or green leaf lettuce, chopped
1/2 c diced red cabbage
1/2 c diced green cabbage
1/4 diced red, orange, or yellow bell pepper (or all kinds)
1/8 - 1/4 c flesh of chopped Aloe vera leaves

Layer ingredients on a plate in order listed above, starting with lettuce on bottom.

Dressing
1 clove garlic, finely cut
1 inch ginger root, finely cut
1 lemon or lime, squeezed
2 T tahini
2 T raw agave syrup
1/2 T sesame oil
3 T Tamari

*We recommend use of organic ingredients where possible.

We like to top 1 salad serving with 3 T dressing and a bit of grape seed oil (3-4 T) but certainly use more dressing/oil if you like.  Stir salad, dressing, and oil together to thoroughly coat all the leaves, then gobble up at your own pace.  Enjoy!
