Blanch the spinach in salted water and rinse with cold water. Then place it in a sieve and squeeze out any excess liquid after draining. Combine all the remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Toss the spinach with the dressing. Serve as a side dish to sushi in small bowls and sprinkle with a few extra sesame seeds. The highlight is definitely the tahini, and it’s irreplaceable!
