Citrus Tahini Salad Dressing

Tahini salad dressing over mixed salad vegetablesMy Citrus tahini salad dressing is shown drizzled over a bowl of quinoa, garbanzo beans, chopped red peppers,  cucumber chunks, avocado slices, tomato slices. Serving ideas are endless. This delicious dressing was created when a dear friend surprised me with a visit (and some fish—nice!) so I basically found whatever salad and dressing ingredients were in the fridge and decided to whip this up. It is excellent as a dip also. And it is simple and fast to make.

Yields a big batch of dressing (about 1.5 cups) or cut in half for a snaller batch
½ Cup Organic Tahini

¼ Cup fresh lemon juice
½ Cup fresh orange juice or 2
2 Tablespoons Organic Coconut Aminos
½ inch fresh ginger peeled and chopped into small pieces
2 Tablespoons real maple syrup
1 teaspoon sea salt (optional)
A little bit of orange zest (optional)
Instructions
Put all the ingredients in a personal blender like this and mix until creamy and combined. If you prefer a thinner dressing, add a little more orange juice as needed. Serve immediately or can refrigerate for up to two weeks
