Don’t let the simplicity of the ingredient list fool you: The juxtaposition of the bold, spicy harissa dressing and fresh, crunchy produce makes this salad an absolute game changer. A bed of romaine leaves creates the perfect base for juicy tomatoes, sweet bell pepper, and refreshing cucumbers to soak up every last drop of the dressing. The key to making it creamy? Blend our Homemade Harissa with a few dollops of tahini and a splash of lemon juice so all the vibrant flavors are mixed into a smoother texture that makes every forkful a treat to eat.
Tip: You can use chopped romaine lettuce in place of baby romaine, if you like.
