Spinach Salad with Tahini Vinaigrette

This salad's flavors tilt toward the Middle East. Be sure to prep the components in advance it can be thrown together at the last minute, as it wilts quickly.
(serves 6)

3 T. EVOO or toasted sesame oil*
2 T. each freshly* squeezed* lemon juice and tahini (sesame paste)
1 t. Aleppo pepper or 1/4 t. cayenne
About 1 t. kosher salt
1 t. each finely chopped fresh thyme leaves and honey
6 cups packed spinach leaves (from about 10 oz bunch of spinach, rinsed well and stems
     removed
2 cups loosely packed wide organic* carrots (from 1-2 large carrots, peeled, then shaved with
     a veg. peeler)
3/4 cup radishes, cut into small wedges
2 T. toasted sesame seeds
1&1/2 cups coarsely crushed pita chips

In a large bowl, whisk together oil, lemon juice, tahini, pepper, salt, thyme, and honey until smooth. Add spinach, carrots, radishes, sesame seeds, and pita chips and toss to dress evenly. Season with salt to taste and serve immediately.
