Description
Anti-oxidant rich salad dressing filled with amazing phytonutrients for gut health and immunity.
Ingredients
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
1–2 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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
