TASTEFUL TAHINI SALAD DRESSING
I hate mayo, but I love hummus and tahini. People are always asking for the recipe. The tahini gives it a Middle Eastern feel and the lemon, garlic, and ginger flavors really give it a kick! Easy to make, just needs a blender or a food processor. Experiment by adding a bit more lemon or a bit less garlic, or adding ground mint. Works well on anything, especially on simple salads.

ANOTHER TAHINI SALAD DRESSING!
Nearly all my dressings use tahini! This is one that I've modified from "May All Be Fed" by John Robbins. It's fairly thin, but has a mild lemony taste which is great on a garden salad. Plus I've made it lower-fat. So enjoy! (Serving size is 2 Tbsp.)

Tips:
- Use good quality tahini. Freshly ground sesame seeds will give the dressing the best flavor. Make sure to check the dates to make sure they are fresh and not rancid.
- Use fresh lemon juice. Bottled lemon juice can be used in a pinch, but fresh lemon juice will give the dressing a brighter, more vibrant flavor.
- Add water or more tahini to adjust the consistency of the dressing. If you want a thinner dressing, add more water. If you want a thicker dressing, add more tahini.
- Taste the dressing and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, garlic, or lemon juice.
