What to serve with it?

How to store it?
You can prepare this spinach salad with tahini yogurt dressing a few hours in advance, but just keep the dressing separately to keep the spinach from wilting.
Keep them separate in the fridge, and when ready to serve remove both from the fridge about 20 minutes in advance so that they get to room temperature.
