How to make Jalapeno Tahini Vegan Pasta Salad

A closer view of the dish

Jalapeno tahini dressing is extremely versatile that if any leftovers just store it in the refrigerator in a glass container. Later, you may use it as a dip or as a spread over sandwiches. 🙂

Expert tips:

  • The first important step to note is to make sure you blanch broccoli florets very well so that there isn’t any raw taste.
  • Secondly, it is advisable that you slice / julienne the carrots fresh instead of buying julienned carrot pack. Why? The freshness of vegetables enhances the taste of this salad ten times more.
  • Lastly, don’t forget to add thinly sliced red bell pepper to add to the sweet crunch to this salad.
  • Also, when you use sweet corns for this salad do not buy the creamy style. Please make sure to buy regular canned sweet corn.

Once you get the right ingredients for this Jalapeno Tahini Vegan Pasta Salad you will immediately love it.

I guarantee that you are gonna make it innumerable times and devour it the same way like we do it in my home 🙂
