Harissa Tahini Romaine Wraps and Salad

Perhaps the real star of this salad is the harissa. Have you used this spicy

condiment yet? Harissa is a Tunisian red chili pepper paste. Traditionally it is used to marinate meats and vegetables, but it is fantastic in sauces as well. This dish is super duper easy to make! It stays fresh for about 3 days in the fridge, so don’t be afraid to make a large batch. Feel free to serve it in romaine leaves or with chopped romaine. Really depends on whether you feel like using a fork or not
