Notes
You can easily double this recipe except the water. Use 1/4 cup water and add some more as needed after everything is combined.
If doubling the recipe make sure to increase the garlic one clove at a time as it can easily overpower if not careful.
The salad can be topped with some of this walnut vegan parmesan, or as you see in my photos some grated macademia nuts, it's crazy how much it resembled parmesan cheese.
The tahini in the recipe can be replaced with cashew or walnut butter.
For an extra umami flavor feel free to add a pinch of dulse flakes into the dressing or some crumbled seaweed you might have in the pantry.
