Simple Salad with Oil Free Tahini Dressing

Simple Salad with Oil Free Tahini Dressing

When I made this oil-free tahini dressing for the first time I couldn’t believe it was super healthy because it tastes really amazing, it’s even better than the creamy dressing you can find in the supermarkets. It’s my all-time favorite salad dressing and I’m obsessed with it!

You don’t have to buy store-bought salad dressings (which are full of chemicals) to enjoy a super delicious and creamy dressing and it’s ready in 2 minutes. On a daily basis, I blend the ingredients in a bowl with a spoon or a knife, but if you use a blender, the dressing will be creamier.

I used raw tahini, but traditional tahini tastes better and works great. If you add regular tahini, the dressing will be darker and less bitter.

I don’t know how long can it lasts because I make it almost every day, but if you prefer to make big batches of this dressing, keep it in the fridge in a glass jar.

Seriously, you NEED to try this!

Oil Free Tahini Dressing

Tips:

  • Add less or more water depending on the consistency you want to get.
  • If you can’t eat or find nutritional yeast, you can remove this ingredient or use brewer’s yeast or beer instead of water.

  1. I find being vegan, a lot of the recipes are pretty bland. My tahini dressing tops yours by miles I’m afraid! It has garlic, a tsp of agave or rice syrup, apple cider vinegar, ground coriander and cumin in it and only 2 Tbsp of avocado or olive oil in it (optional) besides your ingredients (except the yeast as I don’t like it). It’s my favorite. Then, after blending, I sprinkle a few sesame seeds in it too (tahini sesame seeds are even better!0

  6. I’m going full on vegan – I’m a natural home cook looking for new ideas. (i also run three websites of my own.) Looking online is a challenge the sites that win my attention are easy to navigate – the recipes are above the fold with one bold great image of the dish – and don’t involve scrolling down eight miles past popping sliding, flashing ads that cover the images or text and get in the way.- It’s easy-peasy to be an amazon affiliate or google adsense with low key ads that don’t disrupt. – Just sayin’ While you recipes intrigued me, navigating the site is annoying and tedious. i bailed nearly immediately.

  7. This recipe sounds very good, but I feel you should note that just because it is oil-free, that does not mean it is fat-free. One tablespoon of tahini contains 9 grams of fat, with 2 grams saturated fat. For people with heart disease and/or gallbladder problems (like me), this is essential information. Plant fat is certainly healthier than animal fat, but it is still fat. The way you talk about the recipe gives the impression that it is fat-free, which is not the case. I have educated myself about fats so that I can control the amount I eat and I am aware of the fat in tahini, but it would be a valuable service to your readers if you not only mentioned the fat in this recipe, but gave nutritional information on all your recipes. There are a number of sites on the internet where you can enter ingredients and the site will calculate the nutritional information for you.

  10. I made your tahini dressing last night for a Buddha Bowl my husband and I were making for dinner. We both think it’s absolutely amazing!! We had more of the dressing tonight on sweet potatoes. We would drink it with a straw if we weren’t exercising some restraint! Thank you for this recipe that’s sure to be a staple in our house now!
