TUNA NIçOISE SALAD WITH TAHINI DRESSING

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 pound carrots (about 6), cut into 2-inch pieces, halved or quartered lengthwise if thick
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 pound green beans, trimmed, halved if long
2 large eggs
1/4 cup tahini
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 small head red-leaf lettuce, torn
2 5-ounce cans tuna in olive oil, drained
8 radishes, thinly sliced
16 pitted kalamata olives
Za'atar spice blend, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Place a baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 450˚. Toss the carrots with 1 tablespoon olive oil in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Spread out on the hot pan and roast until tender and browned on the bottom, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook until crisp-tender, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate to cool. Carefully add the eggs to the pot of water; adjust the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook until the yolks are jammy, 7 minutes. Drain the eggs and run under cold water until cool enough to handle. Peel the eggs and cut each into 4 wedges.
  • While the eggs are cooking, make the dressing: Whisk the tahini, 1/4 cup water, 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon vinegar in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper. Thin with more water, if necessary.
  • Toss the lettuce in a large bowl with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Divide among plates. Top with the tuna, roasted carrots, green beans, radishes, olives and eggs. Drizzle with the tahini dressing and sprinkle with za'atar.

BROCCOLI SALAD WITH PEANUTS AND TAHINI-LIME DRESSING



Broccoli Salad With Peanuts and Tahini-Lime Dressing image

Broccoli stalks, often overlooked or tossed in favor of the florets, take center-stage in this summer picnic salad. While many broccoli slaws are made with mayonnaise-based dressings, this one is inspired by the bright flavors of Thai cuisine, and uses sesame oil, lime juice, salted peanuts, scallions and a dash of hot sauce for heat. (Garnish the slaw with fresh Thai basil, if you like.) Tossed with a creamy vegan tahini-lime dressing, the broccoli softens just enough to lose that raw broccoli flavor without giving up any of its satisfying crunch. A food processor or Mandoline makes quick work of the stems, but with a little bit of patience, a good knife does the trick, too. Finally, this salad is best the day it's made, though its components can be prepared in advance to save time.

Time 20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds broccoli (see Tip)
3/4 cup thinly sliced scallions, white and green parts (3 to 5 scallions)
1/2 cup lightly salted peanuts, finely chopped
1/3 cup tahini
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)
1/4 cup toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
2 teaspoons honey or agave
1 garlic clove, finely grated
A few dashes of hot sauce, plus more to taste
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro or mint

Steps:

  • Trim the broccoli stalks and peel them to remove the tough outer layer. Cut off the florets, leaving as much of the stalk as possible intact, and set the florets aside. Using the shredding or julienne blade of a food processor, a mandoline or a sharp knife, julienne the stems and place them in a large bowl.
  • Finely chop or julienne the florets and add them to the bowl, along with the scallions and peanuts.
  • In a small bowl or glass measuring cup, combine the tahini, lime juice, sesame oil, soy sauce, honey, garlic and hot sauce and whisk until smooth. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss thoroughly to coat. Set aside at room temperature for at least 15 minutes, tossing occasionally, to allow the broccoli to soften slightly.
  • Just before serving, add the fresh herbs and toss well. (You can refrigerate for up to 8 hours before serving.)

TAHINI-GLAZED CARROTS



Tahini-Glazed Carrots image

A little sweet from date syrup, creamy from tahini and very tangy from plenty of lemon juice, this roasted carrot dish - adapted from Adeena Sussman's cookbook "Sababa" - has charisma to spare. It's also extremely easy to make. While the carrots roast with olive oil and cumin, all you do is whisk together a simple glaze from pantry ingredients. If you don't have the date syrup on hand, maple syrup works just as well, making the dish slightly sweeter but no less compelling.

Categories     dinner, easy, vegetables, side dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds slender carrots (or thick carrots, halved lengthwise), peeled
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup tahini
3 to 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, to taste
3 tablespoons silan (date syrup), or maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more to taste

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Place carrots on a large rimmed baking sheet and toss with the oil, salt and cumin. Roast carrots for 15 minutes, then turn them and continue roasting until they are golden at the edges and tender, 12 to 15 minutes longer.
  • While the carrots are roasting, make the tahini glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil, tahini, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, silan, cayenne, salt and 1 tablespoon water until smooth. Whisk in 1 to 2 more tablespoons water until you have a thick but pourable sauce. Taste and add more salt or lemon juice, or both, if you like.
  • Transfer the carrots to a platter and drizzle with the tahini glaze, tossing the carrots to coat.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, crisp vegetables. This will ensure that your salad is flavorful and crunchy.
  • Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables. They should still be slightly crunchy when you're done cooking them.
  • Use a flavorful dressing. This will help to bring out the flavors of the vegetables.
  • Garnish the salad with fresh herbs or nuts. This will add extra flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

Tangled Carrot and Broccoli Sprout Salad with Tahini Dressing is a delicious and healthy salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its vibrant colors and flavors, this salad is sure to please everyone at your table.
