Spinach salad with tahini yogurt dressing

This Recipe includes

Main ingredients:

	Fresh spinach – any type of fresh spinach or baby spinach will do
	(Optional) Croutons – homemade croutons or store-bought

Spices and flavoring for the dressing:

	Greek yogurt – regular or low fat greek yogurt.
	Tahini sauce – for that smooth and salty flavor
	Shallot flakes – dried shallot flakes or powder. You can also use onion powder as an alternative, if you don’t have shallots.
	Olive oil – I prefer virgin olive oil, but you can use any type that you have.
	Lemon juice – freshly squeezed lemon juice for flavor

Why we love it

Tahini yogurt dressing has a way of making an ordinary salad extraordinary. Getting away from those store-bought salad dressings, this healthy combination of Middle-eastern tahini with Green yogurt is a match made in heaven.

And when you add it to bed of nutritious spinach and crunchy croutons, you have a salad that will make your friends and family keep coming back for seconds.

What to serve with it?

This spinach salad with tahini dressing is a great healthy salad that can be served with something like air fryer parmesan calamari (squid) or salmon in lemon butter sauce.

You can also serve it along a hearty casserole like a ratatouille with goat cheese or a potatoes mushroom bake.

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.
