TASTEFUL TAHINI SALAD DRESSING



Tasteful Tahini Salad Dressing image

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.

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.)

Yield 1 1/4 cups, 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 tablespoons flax seed oil (I use Udo's blend)

1/3 cup water
3 tablespoons lemon juice (more to taste)
1 -2 tablespoon tamari
1 tablespoon red onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2-1 tablespoon maple syrup

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in a jar with a tight lid and shake well.

  • Add more tahini, lemon juice, tamari or water if desired.
  • Will keep for 1 week.

Tips:

  • For a creamier dressing, use full-fat tahini.
  • If you don't have lemon juice, you can use white vinegar or rice vinegar.
  • Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
  • For a sweeter dressing, add a tablespoon of honey or agave nectar.
  • Store the dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
