Ingredients
- Salad base: 3 cups thickly grated carrots
- 1 cup homegrown sprouts
- 2 tbsp finely chopped mint leaves
- 1/4 cup cashews, soaked and chopped
- 3 tbsp raisins (kishmish)
- Tahini dressing: 1/2 cup white sesame seeds, roasted (or 4 tbsp homemade tahini)
- 4 dates, de-seeded
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/4 green chilli
- 1 tbsp jaggery powder
- 1/2 tsp rock salt
- 1/4 cup water
Method
- To prepare the tahini: heat a pot and roast the sesame seeds on medium flame for 3-5 minutes. Once cooled, blend until a smooth butter forms.
- Place all the tahini dressing ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.
- Place all the salad base ingredients into a mixing bowl. Pour the dressing over and stir to combine everything. Serve.
Tip: Soak 1/4 cup cashews and prepare 1 cup sprouts ahead. The raisins, tahini, and carrots combine into an unexpectedly satisfying dish that works as a full meal.
Highlights: Exceptionally high in vitamin A, plus calcium and iron.
