Falafel Salad with Sesame/Lime Tahini Dressing

We just had a salad this evening with:
Coleslaw mix
Chopped Baby Spinach
Halved Cherub Tomatoes
Lime Tahini Dressing (You can use lemon or lime to make the dressing.)
and Falafel Balls
The dressing was the same used in this recipe: http://slowmyroll.blogspot.com/2012/05/chickpea-tahini-stirfry.html

In a small bowl, add:
2 Tablespoons Sesame Tahini
2 or 3 small cloves garlic
Juice from 1 small lime
Mix together.  It will become very thick.  
Slowly add water until it gets thin like salad dressing.

Creamy Cashew Nut Butter Dressing with Garlic, Lime and Italian Seasoning
2 Tablespoons Cashew Nut Butter
1 Large Clove Garlic, crushed
Juice squeezed from 2 Key-limes
1 or 2 Teaspoons dry Italian Seasoning
2-4 Teaspoons Spicy Brown Mustard (depends on how spicy/'mustardy' you want it)
Stir with a fork, then start adding cold water little by little, until you reach the desired thickness for your dressing.

Chop your favorite crunchy veggie into a bowl and mix.  I started with:
1 Cucumber
1 Red Bell Pepper
2 or 3 Cups Packaged Coleslaw Mix
2 or 3 Cups Chopped Baby Spinach

Add Chopped Snap Peas, Halved Cherub Tomatoes and one can of drained, Great White Northern Beans.

Mix and put in pretty serving bowls.  Cover with Dressing and enjoy!
