go-to tahini salad dressing

Posted: September 4, 2014 by sasha nelson

When I say salad, I don’t mean a lousy pile of lettuce and thin strips of raw veggies. My version of my daily lunch salad includes hearty greens, sometimes grains like quinoa or millet, protein like beans or legumes, and whatever other seasonal veggies I find at the farmer’s market. And avocado, as often as humanly possible.

Although I love variety, I am also a creature of habit, hence my dressing is usually the same every day and I have yet to tire of it. It’s been a hit at various summer pot-lucks and parties, so I’ve gotten verification from others. This dressing will transition through every seasonal salad of your choice.
