Ingredients
- A bunch of broccolini cut in half
- Radishes sliced thin
- Cooked quinoa and rice I used Seeds of Change
- Brazil nuts chopped
- Freshly chopped garlic cloves
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- Tahini Dressing:
- Tahini
- Fresh lemon juice
- Pure maple syrup
- Salt and pepper
- Water
- Cayenne or red pepper flakes optional
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add chopped garlic and toss for a minute or two, until fragrant.
- Add broccolini and toss well. Let it cook down for 3-4 minutes, tossing gently, until it develops a light sear. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.
- While the broccolini is cooking, make your tahini dressing by adding the dressing ingredients to a small bowl and whisking well. Add salt and pepper to taste and add water as needed to thin it out.
- Assemble the salad by first placing your quinoa and rice in a bowl. Next, add the broccolini and sliced radishes. Then, pour over the tahini dressing and toss gently to cover everything. Top with chopped Brazil nuts and serve immediately.
