Butter Lettuce Salad with Dukkah, Avocado, and Tahini Dressing

Sweet butter lettuce, creamy avocado, and crunch from Dukkah are tossed with a smooth and savory sesame-based dressing. Dukkah is an Egyptian spice blend of toasted nuts, sesame, cumin, and coriander. If you are avoiding nuts, then zaā€™atar spice blend is another delicious Middle Eastern seasoning you can use. Both spice blends go well with the tahini dressing.
