SALAD STRETCHER IDEA:
If you end up with a little salad left over, it can easily be transformed into a delicious wrap or flatbread. A little hummus spread on a tortilla (or flatbread) topped with your leftover salad ingredients, a drizzle of the tahini dill dressing and a sprinkling of toasted chopped walnuts or pistachios. Simple but super good meal!
