    Lately, I've been craving big hearty salads, a lot of fresh vegetables and fruits. And that's great because I'm trying to eat as healthy as possible, and get all necessary nutrients for my baby and me. (Yes, I'm pregnant and yes I'm still vegan.)

    couscous kale salad

    This couscous kale salad with tahini sauce combines all my favorite things at the moment: couscous, kale, tomatoes, chickpeas and tahini sauce.

    I love tahini sauce so much I could drink it straight out of a bowl instead of eating it. I wouldn't recommend drinking it thou.

    What is so amazing about this salad is that it takes only 10 ingredients and not more than 20-30 minutes making it. What you get is a fresh, healthy and satisfying salad with tasty and creamy tahini sauce.
