Broccoli Tahini Slaw


  • broccoli (shredded)
  • apple (chopped)
  • tahini paste (green tahini if possible)
  • garlic (raw, minced)
  • lemon juice
  • salt & pepper

From Preppies: " Broccoli tahini slaw. Usually I do this one as a variation on this Marcus Samuelsson recipe (note: do not be timid with the tahini, lemon, and garlic! Raw broccoli is pretty stern, rugged, woody stuff, so you need to club it into submission with tons of acid and strong flavors!): shredded broccoli, chopped apple, tahini paste, raw minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, salt and pepper. This week, however, I picked up Trader Joe’s new green tahini sauce (ingredients: tahini, lemon, parsley, green onion, dill, mint, garlic, cilantro, salt, cumin), because I thought it sounded promising, and just added that to the broccoli and apple. Holy crap, that was a good move. Quick, easy, loaded with flavor – the mint particularly comes through."
