Oil-Free Lemon Tahini Dressing:

How it’s Done

To make dressing: Drain and rinse the chickpeas, if using canned. Place in a blender.
Zest the lemon and add to the blender.  Juice the lemon into the blender.
Add the tahini, miso, and nutritional yeast to the blender.
Add 1/2 cup of water. Puree until smooth. Taste to adjust seasoning.

Toss with greens or other salad topping.

Yield: 1 cup

Chef Katie’s Tips

Freezer Friendly:  This dressing is very freezer-friendly.  Make a big batch and store in smaller containers.

What is Tahini? Tahini is just ground up sesame seeds.  It’s like the peanut version of sesame seeds.  It’s a great nut-free alternative for anyone struggling with nut allergies.  You can find it near the nut butters.  Roasted tahini packs the most flavor, but I try to avoid tahini with added salt or oils.

Umami Flavor: Miso paste and nutritional yeast add rich, umami flavor. They replace traditional egg and cheese found in many salad dressings for this vegan version.
