Lemon Tahini Dressing

Makes 1 1/4 cups

Simple, delicious salad dressing with a touch of the Middle East. This recipe is based on one found in Vegan World Fusion.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup raw tahini
  • ½ cup water
  • ¾ tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon red wine viegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon cumin, ground (optional)

Preparation

Whisk together all ingredients until smooth and then let dressing sit for at least 15 minutes before serving.

If you store this covered and refrigerated, the dressing will keep for about a month.

Hi Kandace thanks for this recipe.. Since I’m big on salads I will definately give this a try although for religious reasons I’ll sub. apple cider vinegar for the wine vinegar.. I’ll have to let you know how this turns out.. Thanks again

This sounds great! I only have apple cider vinegar do you think it will wreck the flavor/taste?

OMG I just made this tonight and it was so good!! I did use the apple cider vinegar instead the taste was wonderful. I love the cumin and tahini it works so well together! It might be just me but it reminds me of a very liquidy hummus. So so good thank you so much im going to make this all the time!

Very good dressing. I, too, used ACV in place of the red. Thanks!
