Fry the dates: Heat olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add halved dates and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until lightly caramelized and golden. Remove from heat.
Prepare the salad base: In a bowl combine the romaine, radicchio, radish, red onion, and orange segments. Toss lightly.
Make the dressing: In a small bowl whisk together tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and sea salt. Add warm water gradually until smooth and pourable.
Assemble the salad: Top the salad with the warm fried dates and toasted sesame seeds. Drizzle with dressing and toss lightly before serving.
Optional Protein Add-On: Top with 120 g grilled chicken, salmon, steak, shrimp, tofu, or chickpeas to turn this salad into a more balanced, high-protein meal [if you add protein make sure you add correct macros].
