# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes light and fresh but actually keeps you satisfied because of the healthy fats and protein.
  • Zero cooking involved means you can throw this together faster than ordering takeout.
  • The dressing is so good you'll find yourself making extra to drizzle on leftover vegetables all week.
02 -
  • Spiralize the carrots no more than a few hours before eating, or they start to release moisture and become sad and limp.
  • The dressing is what transforms this from a vegetable platter into something people crave, so don't skimp on the sesame or garlic.
  • If your tahini looks separated with oil on top, give it a good stir before using it; that's normal and actually means it's high quality.
03 -
  • Invest in a good spiralizer because using one that catches and shreds instead of creating clean noodles will frustrate you every single time.
  • Toast your own sesame and pumpkin seeds in a dry pan for two minutes; you'll taste the difference immediately and wonder why you ever bought them pre-toasted.
