Happy start of the new year! To get us going in the right direction, I’ve made us a dinner detox salad that I’m calling Winter Salad. I know that roasted green salad might sound a little strange, but bear with me, I promise it’s worth it. This was one of the recipes I was toying adding to the Sugar Free Paleo Dinner Recipes cookbook. The only reason I didn’t is that it needs some protein to turn it into a full meal, and I wanted to keep that flexible.
Why you want this winter salad for dinner tonight:
Crispy kale that is like eating chips and calling it a detox salad. #lovekale Roasted broccoli and a few roasted brussels. Bring on the roasted green veggies! The creamiest ever lemon tahini dressing that is just. so. good. Sweet red grapes that taste like candy. Toasted slivered almonds.
Pop your favorite protein on top (I love it with seared salmon!) and dinner is ready. Also, make sure to try our favorite kale salad!
What to serve with your winter salad?
We love serving this with baked salmon or baked pork chops. Or you could take this in a totally plant-based direction and sprinkle some seasoning on sliced firm tofu and sear it in a pan. Which would you choose?
Lemon Tahini Salad Dressing
That creamy dressing you see up there is 100% dairy-free. The trick is to use tahini. Are you familiar with tahini? It’s a paste made from sesame seeds, like peanut butter is a paste made from peanuts. It has a nutty flavor and gives salad dressings a creamy texture. Mixed with lemon juice and a tiny bit of garlic and it becomes magic.
