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 za’atar spice blend is another delicious Middle Eastern seasoning you can use. Both spice blends go well with the tahini dressing.
