# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The tahini-lime dressing has this magical way of bringing everything together - I always make extra because it disappears so quickly.
  • You can throw this together in about 20 minutes flat, making it perfect for those evenings when cooking feels like too much effort but you still want something that makes you feel amazing.
02 -
  • If your spiralized carrots seem too crunchy, you can soften them slightly by placing them in ice water for 10 minutes, then patting them dry - this maintains their structure while making them easier to eat.
  • The dressing will thicken in the refrigerator, so if youre making it ahead, you might need to add a splash more water and rewhisk before serving.
03 -
  • If your tahini has separated in the jar, dont just stir the top - empty the entire contents into a food processor and blitz for 30 seconds for the smoothest dressing base.
  • For the most satisfying carrot noodles, change the blade on your spiralizer to the one with smaller teeth - it creates thinner strands that better mimic the mouthfeel of actual pasta.
