Note

This recipe originally included references to falafels and a weight-loss diet plan, which have been omitted as they are not part of the salad preparation steps.

For the best flavor, ensure the tahini yogurt dressing is well mixed and thin enough to coat the salad evenly.

Use fresh, ripe tomatoes and crisp rocket for optimal texture and flavor.

If using frozen berries or other frozen ingredients mentioned in the original ingredient list, ensure they are thawed if intended for use, though they are not included in the standard salad steps above.
