It’s been a while since I had a good, non-Whole Foods salad bar, salad. But sometimes, especially after friend-in-town times, salad is the only thing that even remotely sounds good. I picked up a bunch of greens and some nitrate-free turkey bacon and assembled myself a meal.

On top of a bed of baby kale, I tossed cubed avocado, sliced baby cukes, chopped turkey bacon, and pumpkin seeds. I whipped up some tahini dressing by mixing tahini and white balsamic vinegar to taste and then adding a tad bit of water at a time until I reached a salad dressing-esque consistency.

In addition to a totally unique flavor, tahini is made up almost entirely of good fats (Omega-3 & Omega-6). Good fatty tahini mixed with good fatty avocado and pumpkin seeds makes for the fattiest of salads, but the good kind!
