Creamy Tahini Salad Dressing

Always salad season in our house, and this dressing is always a hit!

This salad dressing makes a large jar – use it on anything! So great for pasta salads, rice salads, dressed up grilled vegetables, brush it on chicken for grilling, let your imagination run wild. You will love it – something we first had with my “Red Rice Rocks”, also known as a bowl of goodness.

  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast flakes
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 generous tbsp tahini paste
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • red chili flakes (optional)
  • 1 1/4 – 1/2 cups vegetable oil (I like to use a combo of olive oil and vegetable or grapeseed oil)

Combine all ingredients except the oil in a blender – blend briefly, and then slowly drizzle in the oil until smooth and creamy. Once it is smooth and creamy, taste it with a lettuce leaf and adjust if you need more salt and add a few grinds of fresh pepper.

Make a meal out of this one by adding rice to a bowl, add some protein and pile a salad on top. Drizzle this over everything and top with toasted nuts.
