Meatless Monday – Tahini Vinaigrette Dressing
Ignite The Flavor of Your Salad, Now!
Whisk away into a bright and clear day with a lovely salad that has the oh-so-perfect dressing you are longing for- the Tahini Vinaigrette Dressing!
Imagine eating that wonderful fresh salad, only to spoil it with a dressing that’s laden with unhealthy oils with harmful chemicals? Not a beautiful picture right? At this point, allow me to share with you the harmful effects of oil, olive and coconut oil included in one of my Fire-Driven TV episodes: “Discover The Truth About Killer OILS.”
Now, this dressing is the answer to all salad and any kind of flavoring needs. The Tahini Vinaigrette Dressing is completely plant-based, guaranteed no oil and no dairy. Tahini is one of the most versatile condiments you can ever find because it goes well with everything, from soups to sauces and of course dressings! The imaginative idea of merging tahini and balsamic vinegar is pure genius! These 2 ingredients in fact run a seamless flavor pairing that delivers a taste of its own. The sweet and sour balsamic balances the salty tahini, and since tahini has a moderately rich flavor, it’s an awesome base for an overpowering taste of balsamic! And the flavor just keeps coming in with the juice and zest of my favorite lemon! Check out the benefits your body can get from this beautiful bright yellow fruits….
Let the salad indulgence begin with this perfect partner!
