Creamy Tahini Dressing

Tangy Tahini Salad Dressing

Salads are one my number one “go-to” lunch or last minute dinner idea. I keep some type of greens on hand at all times (usually spinach). In the effort to remove more processed foods out of our diet, I found out that dressings were a big culprit of processed and chemically laden ingredients.

I can make my own salad dressing or vinaigrette in less than a minute and it tastes much better than bottled. I have experimented with lots of different types of dressings, but vinegar or citrus based is usually my favorite.  It has a lighter and brighter flavor that I prefer.

Health Benefits of Tahini

I keep Tahini on hand at all times, for dressings and a simple homemade hummus. Tahini is made from sesame seeds and is packed with essential vitamins and minerals. As with most things we eat, I try to go for organic Tahini (or at least non-GMO) options if our budget will allow.

If you are wondering why to use Tahini in your cooking, here are a few health benefits I found interesting:

  • Promotes and helps maintain healthy skin and muscle tone.
  • High in unsaturated fat (that’s the good fat!)
  • Easy to digest because of its high alkaline mineral content.  This makes it great to help in weight loss.
  • Rich in minerals like phosphorus, lecithin, magnesium, potassium and iron.
  • High in vitamin E and vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5 and B15.
  • A good source of Methionine (this aids in liver detoxification)
  • Best source of calcium.   This is especially important to us ladies to prevent osteoporosis!
  • Promotes healthy cell growth.
  • Helps to prevent anemia.
  • Almost a complete protein, which makes it better than nuts.
