Description

Anti-oxidant rich salad dressing filled with amazing phytonutrients for gut health and immunity. 


Ingredients

Scale

1/2 cup tahini (well-stirred)

3 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)

1 garlic cloves (optional)

1 teaspoon ground turmeric

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

12 tsp miso paste (optional)

1/2 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for some heat)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Water, as needed to thin


Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, mix together tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, ground turmeric, ground cumin, maple syrup or honey, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. I love using the small whisk that is great for mixing in glasses seen in my fav gadgets link. 
  2. Adjust Consistency: The mixture might be quite thick. Slowly add water, a tablespoon at a time, whisking after each addition until you reach the desired consistency.
  3. Taste and Adjust: Taste the dressing and adjust seasonings if necessary. If you’d like it sweeter, you can add a touch more maple syrup or honey. If you prefer it tangier, squeeze in a bit more lemon juice.
  4. Store: Transfer the dressing to an airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. Shake or stir well before using.

Notes

This dressing is versatile and can be drizzled over salads, grain bowls, roasted vegetables, or even used as a dip for fresh veggies or pita bread. Enjoy!
