  1. Prep Ahead: To save time, you can chop the celery and apple and grate the carrots ahead of time. Just keep them stored in the refrigerator until you’re ready to mix the salad.
  2. Customize Your Salad: Feel free to add other ingredients like chopped nuts, raisins, or even some diced bell peppers for extra flavor and texture.
  3. Adjust the Tahini: If you prefer a lighter dressing, add a splash of water to the tahini-lemon mixture until you reach your desired consistency.
  4. Chill for Flavor: Allowing the salad to chill for at least 10 minutes enhances the flavors, so don’t skip this step!
  5. Garnish for Presentation: A sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro can elevate the dish’s appearance and add an extra layer of flavor.
