Name: Tasteful Tahini Salad Dressing
Prep time: 10 min
Total time: 10 min
Ingredients: ½ cup tahini (sesame paste); ½ cup olive oil; ½ cup water; ¼ cup tamari (dark soy sauce); 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar; 2 tablespoons lemon juice; 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root; 2 cloves garlic, pressed; black pepper to taste

I hate mayo, but I love hummus and tahini. People are always asking for the recipe. The tahini gives it a Middle Eastern feel and the lemon, garlic, and ginger flavors really give it a kick! Easy to make, just needs a blender or a food processor. Experiment by adding a bit more lemon or a bit less garlic, or adding ground mint. Works well on anything, especially on simple salads.

olive oil

water

tamari (dark soy sauce)

Blend the tahini, olive oil, water, tamari, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, ginger, garlic, and black pepper together in a blender until smooth.


Soooooo yummy.  The only changes I made was substituting apple cider vinegar for red wine vinegar, canola oil for olive oil - less about 1 tablespoon, adding a tablespoon of toasted sesame oil, and adding about 1 tablespoon of chopped chives.  Adding nutritional yeast will thicken it if you find it too thin, but I did not find that necessary.  I thought the consistency was perfect the way it is.  Very much like Goddess dressing.

We could not stop eating this! We had fondue and dipped everything from vegetables to meats, breads and crackers!

fantastic!  I love how it is creamy without using dairy.  I added a bit of lemon zest... really just for the scent (on my hands and in the dressing!) thanks

I surprised by all of the positive reviews. For me the tahini and ginger overwhelmed all of the other flavors. I tried to save it by increasing the other ingredients but it was chalky nonetheless. I will not try it again.

This is excellent.  I substituted dried ginger & garlic powder and used regular soy sauce instead of tamari, and it was still very good.  I am sure it is even better as written.  Makes a great dressing for pita sandwiches or dip for pretzels, pita chips, veggies, etc.

I wouldn't change a thing--excellent as dressing a sauce for veggies or beans and even for pasta. Bravo!

Wow! This recipe actually deserves five stars! Absolutely delicious. I dipped veggies in this and spread it on my veggie and bean burgers. It taste AMAZING on falafels. It kind of tastes like a thick hummus sauce. I'm surprised that only a few people have reviewed this one!

Super!! Made it as written and it was delicious. Great as a salad dressing or for dipping veggies. Wonderful for dipping Zukes and Cukes. thanks

This was better than the salad dressing at my favorite middle eastern restaurant.
