Steps:
- Make tahini sauce:
- In blender on high, blend tahini and garlic until smooth, about 30 seconds. With motor running, add 1/2 cup water, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper and blend until incorporated, about 30 seconds. (Tahini sauce can be prepared ahead and refrigerated, in airtight container, up to 2 days. If sauce is too thick after storage, whisk in several drops of water to thin.)
- Marinate tempeh:
- Reserve 1/2 cup tahini sauce for serving. Brush remainder in thick layer over both sides of tempeh pieces. Transfer to airtight container and refrigerate at least 4 hours and up to 8 hours.
- Make dressing:
- In a 2-quart pot over moderately high heat, bring orange juice to a boil. Lower heat to moderate and simmer, uncovered, until reduced by half, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to large bowl and let cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes. Whisk in vinegar, then gradually whisk in olive oil, orange oil, salt, and pepper. (Dressing can be prepared ahead and refrigerated, in airtight container, up to 2 days. Whisk to reemulsify before using.)
- Grill tempeh and radicchio:
- If using charcoal grill, open vents on bottom, then light charcoal and preheat grill to moderately high. If using gas grill, preheat burners on high with hood closed 10 minutes, then turn down to moderately high. Brush grill rack with oil.
- Grill tempeh, turning once, until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Grill radicchio, turning once, until beginning to wilt, about 2 minutes perside.
- Assemble and serve:
- Cut each piece of tempeh into 4 slices. In large bowl, toss together radicchio, parsley, and orange dressing. Divide salad among 4 plates and top with tempeh and avocado slices. Drizzle with lemon juice and reserved tahini sauce. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Use fresh oranges. Fresh oranges have a brighter, more intense flavor than store-bought orange juice. If you can, use organic oranges to avoid pesticides.
- Choose a good quality tahini. Tahini is a key ingredient in this dressing, so it's important to choose a good one. Look for a tahini that is smooth and creamy, with a nutty flavor.
- Don't over-process the dressing. Over-processing the dressing can make it bitter. Simply whisk the ingredients together until they are well combined.
- Taste the dressing before serving. Adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more orange juice, tahini, or honey.
- Serve the dressing immediately. This dressing is best served fresh. If you need to store it, keep it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Conclusion:
Orange and tahini dressing is a delicious and versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's perfect for salads, roasted vegetables, and grilled meats. The bright, citrusy flavor of the oranges pairs perfectly with the nutty flavor of the tahini. This dressing is also a good source of healthy fats and vitamin C. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful dressing, give orange and tahini dressing a try.
