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.
