04 - 1 cup baby spinach

# How to Make It:

01 - Spiralize the zucchini and sweet potato. For raw texture, set aside immediately. For softer noodles, sauté each separately in a nonstick skillet over medium heat with a light drizzle of olive oil for 2 to 3 minutes until just tender, then set aside.
02 - In a small mixing bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, and maple syrup or honey. Gradually add water while whisking to achieve desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
03 - Divide spiralized zucchini, sweet potato, cherry tomatoes, baby spinach, and carrot if using between two serving bowls, arranging in an organized presentation.
04 - Top each bowl with 3.5 oz of sliced grilled chicken breast or prepared tofu, distributing evenly across the vegetables.
05 - Drizzle tahini sauce evenly over both bowls, distributing to coat all components.
06 - Garnish each bowl with fresh herbs and toasted sesame seeds for added flavor and visual appeal.
07 - Serve immediately, gently tossing all components to ensure even sauce distribution throughout the noodles and vegetables.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It is naturally gluten-free and can be made vegetarian by simply swapping chicken for tofu.
  • The dish is packed with nutrient-dense vegetables like spinach, carrots, and sweet potatoes.
  • The tahini dressing provides a perfect balance of nutty, zesty, and savory notes.
02 -
  • Always check product labels for hidden allergens, especially in pre-marinated proteins or store-bought tofu.
  • Ensure all ingredients are certified gluten-free if you have a strict dietary requirement.
  • If you find the sauce too thick, simply add a teaspoon of water at a time until it reaches a drizzling consistency.
