Butter Lettuce Salad with Lemon Tahini Dressing

With tender butter lettuce, earthy pine nuts, juicy cherry tomatoes, and a tangy nutty tahini dressing, this lettuce salad is a delicious and healthy feast!

Salad	Lemon Tahini Dressing
2 Head Butter lettuce 1/2 Red onion, sliced 2 tbsp Pine nuts, roasted 1 Nori sheet, crumbled 150 g Cherry tomatoes Fresh herb, chopped	2 tbsp Tahini 4-5 tbsp Lukewarm water 2 tbsp Freshly squeezed lemon juice 1/2 tbsp Maple syrup 1 clove Garlic, minced 1/4 tsp Pink sea salt 1/4 tsp Freshly milled pepper

In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, 4 tablespoons of water, lemon juice, maple syrup, minced garlic, and salt until smooth.
If the dressing is too thick, add more water, ½ tablespoon at a time, until it’s a drizzleable consistency.
Cut the leaves from the stalk of the butter lettuce. Toss with a small amount of dressing and then rearrange the leaves on a serving plate, using the largest leaves on the bottom and the smallest on top, just like the orginal lettuce.
Sprinkle with the chopped red onion. Crush a nori sheet with your hands and sprinkle some over the lettuce. Halve the cherry tomatoes and top the salad with them, finishing up with a sprinkle of the toasted pine nut,s, fresh herb and extra tahini dressing.
