    Creamy Tahini Dressing

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    I’m a sucker for a homemade salad dressing. There’s something about homemade dressings that are just so much better than anything I’ve been able to find in stores (and believe me, I’ve tried). When it comes to salad dressings, I always like to keep it as simple as possible. And this creamy tahini dressing is no exception. It’s under 10 ingredients, insanely creamy (but dairy free), and incredibly delicious!

    1. Mix together all ingredients until combined.
