Broccoli & Snap Pea Salad

I went to a party recently and one of my neighbors brought this amazing salad, it was a Broccoli & Snap Pea Salad with homemade Tahini Dressing. She was a foodie, I can tell, we can spot one another easily! She described the dressing and I immediately knew I had to make it. With some trial and error, I finally perfected it. (I immediately went to Trader Joe's to buy all the ingredients.) And by the way, this is not your average salad . . . matter of fact, it ranks high above most salads in my book. It will amaze you, the Tahini Dressing and the crunchiness of the green baby broccoli with the sweet snap peas and snow peas is the perfect combination of flavors, then right at the end you get the nutty taste of the sesame seeds and cumin with a hint of garlic. I absoultely loved it and I hope you will too!
