This is a great combination, especially when summer tomatoes are at their peak. Tahini, made from ground sesame seeds, is very high in fat. Because it’s concentrated in flavor, it can be stretched with yogurt, extending its flavor while cutting way back on fat. Though sprouts are almost synonymous with health food, they are not especially nutrient-packed. But they are a good way to add crunch to a sandwich.
