Some days you just want to make your own dressing. Because reading labels for something yummy and not full of gunk can be tough. That’s where this recipe comes in. This Creamy Tahini Dressing is perfectly balanced in flavor. Sharp and acidic lemon juice cuts through creamy ricotta and nutty tahini.
Enjoy this dressing on warm grain bowls or fresh green-based salads (check out this recipe for my winter grain bowls that pair perfectly with this dressing!). Or try it as a dip! After all, one of my favorite ways to dig into this recipe is as a vegetable dip. No matter the vegetable you have on hand, weather it’s fresh bell peppers, sliced cucumber, or raw carrots, they are all great vehicles for this flavorful dip. Inspired by the nearly full jar of tahini stashed away in my refrigerator, I was anxious to create something special. Tahini is such a powerful ingredient because it packs a rich nutty flavor into every dish. Lemon juice provides the perfect punch and zest to cut through this salty, savory dressing.
So weather you are looking for a fresh and fun vegetable dip, a creamy dressing for your grain bowls, or a robust dressing for your leafy greens, this dressing is up for the job! So what are you waiting for? Let’s get started!
