Citrus Sesame Salad
"I use this as a first course or appetizer. Section the fruit in the morning, store in a plastic bag with juice, refrigerate then serve at night. I prefer the taste of peanut butter to the tahini. Refreshing palate cleanser."

I'm going to try this week! Will report back!! UPDATE: Love it. Love the creamy dressing, love the contrasting sweet\sour fruity flavors, love the crunch of sesame seeds on top. I used soy yogurt, tahini and replaced the honey with sugar. I also used plain ol' romaine, and it was still wonderful! Served it with a fruit-stuffed squash. MMMMMMmm!
