Step 1

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except the chives and dressing. Mix well and divide among serving plates. Top with dressing and chives to serve.

Step 2

Lemony Herb Tahini Dressing Makes about 1¼ cups ½ cup tahini ½ cup water, divided (plus more as needed) ¼ cup packed fresh parsley leaves ¼ cup packed fresh basil leaves 1 clove garlic, minced 2 tablespoons lemon zest (about 2 lemons) ¼ cup lemon juice (about 2 lemons) 2 teaspoons maple syrup (or honey) ¾ teaspoon kosher salt ½ teaspoon ground black pepper 2 tablespoons (very) thinly sliced chives In a food processor or blender, combine all ingredients except the chives (using ¼ cup of water). Process until the herbs have been chopped and the dressing is smooth. With the motor running, slowly add remaining ¼ cup water until you achieve a pourable consistency. If needed, add extra water one tablespoon at a time until the right consistency is achieved. Once finished, transfer to a bowl and stir in the chives.
