Raw Recipe: Tasty Tahini Salad Dressing
By Chere Harbridge
This salad dressing made with tahini paste has quickly become my favorite! This is very easy and quick to make – in fact I’ve even made it without a blender. I usually add some fresh, cut up fruit to my green salads, and this dressing goes well with both fruit and veg. It would be a great dip, as well, or even as part of a fondue! It’s got a very nutty flavor and the garlic and ginger give it quite a kick. I like the amount of garlic, but it’s quite strong, so you might want to play with the quantity a bit for yourself.
Homemade tahini is so easy to make – I’ve also included the recipe for that, below. Just a little warning – this dressing could become addictive! 🙂

Homemade Tahini Paste
Ingredients:
1 c sesame seeds
3 T. olive oil (to start, will need more)

Add sesame seeds to your blender with the 3 T. olive oil and process into a paste, scraping the sides down. You will need to add more olive oil, a bit at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. Store in a mason jar in the fridge.
