Method

Red cabbage and carrot salad with lemon tahini dressing can be made ahead of time and tossed with the dressing just prior to serving.

Thinly slice the red cabbage, carrots, and green onions and combine them in a large mixing bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper, tossing to evenly coat.

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk the tahini and lemon juice until well combined. Season with salt and pepper. Add 1 tablespoon of water and whisk to combine. You want a creamy consistency, so you might need an additional tablespoon of water.

Pour the tahini dressing over the salad and toss to combine. Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries, and fresh parsley!

To make ahead, store the salad ingredients and the dressing in separate air tight containers in the fridge. Toss the salad with the dressing just prior to serving and garnish with the pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries, and fresh parsley.
