Cooking with Courtney: Ditch Boring Salads

Got 5 minutes, Livermore? Make this 4-ingredient, vegan magic maple mustard tahini dressing!

It's the perfect tangy-sweet complement for salmon, chicken, salads and Buddha bowls. If honey mustard were a kid, I think it would dream of being this simple yet sophisticated sauce when it grows up. (And I really love honey mustard, so that's saying something.)

Give this boss sauce a try this week.
