I first had this salad at a restaurant in California. I was immediately hooked on the bright, lemony flavor and the creamy texture of the tahini dressing. I asked the chef for the recipe, and he was kind enough to share it with me. I've been making it ever since, and it's always a hit with my friends and family.
