GARDEN SALAD WITH HERBED TAHINI DRESSING-11

The lettuce, vegetables, and herbs pictured here are all from my garden—a true garden salad! Add edible flowers for more flavors, colors, and phytonutrients. Pictured here are fresh nasturtium flowers from my garden; however, borage flowers, calendula petals, and violas are all beautiful additions as well! For the dressing, simply add all of the ingredients to a wide mouth quart jar and use an immersion blender to blend until creamy and smooth.

Ingredients

1 large heads green leaf lettuce rinsed, torn, and spun dry
2 medium cucumbers sliced

Another winner, Ali!
(My husband had mouth sores so I went easy on the lemon, but then everyone complained that it didn't have enough flavour... so I added more lemon the next day and it was perfect.)
Moral: be generous with the lemon!
