Eating to Live, Vegan Weight Loss Board :: Recipes :: Diane's creamy tahini/herb salad dressing

I must admit that salad dressing is my big "frustration" with this program. I have come up with one salad dressing that I really do like ... it's "creamy" and just "rich" enough to satisfy, plus its a welcome change from vinegar.

Hope you enjoy it. Let me know what you think.

Diane's Creamy Tahini/Herb Salad Dressing

for 1 serving:

1 heaping teaspoon of Tahini
the juice from 1/2 of a fresh lemon

-- with a spoon or fork, stir together until mixture becomes "creamy" and thick.

-- then add 2 to 3 tablespoons of fresh garden herbs that are finely chopped. I generally use fresh parsely, chives, fennel (yum, yum!), and 1/2 to 1 clove of garlic. Stir this into the thick tahini/lemon mixture. It should be a paste-like consistency.

-- then slowly add cold water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until you have the consistency you desire (I generally add approx. 4 to 5 teaspoons of water).

-- now you're ready to pour your dressing over a lovely fresh salad and enjoy.
