Ginger-Turmeric Tahini Dressing
This recipe is a spin on my classic tahini dressing, with a uniquely feel-good twist. In this version, I incorporate two spices that help lower inflammation and ease aches and pains.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup tahini, make sure it’s well blended before measuring
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 to 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Pinch black pepper or more to taste
- 2 to 3 tablespoons warm water
Instructions
- Mix the tahini paste with olive oil, lemon juice, turmeric, ginger, salt and pepper until well combined. It will begin to thicken substantially.
- Next, add the warm water (start with 2 tablespoons and add the 3rd if you want a thinner consistency) and continue to mix until it becomes a smooth dressing-like consistency. Season with extra salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
If you are saving extra dressing or making it in advance, it will thicken in the fridge, so simply add more water (1 tablespoon at a time) and stir until it’s back to your preferred consistency.
