Cookbook:Tahini Goddess Dressing

Cookbook | Ingredients | Recipes

This tahini goddess dressing is similar to several commercial brands. It is excellent on salad and rice or as a marinade.

Ingredients

For about 24 oz:

• 1 ⅓ cup canola oil
• ⅔ cup water
• 6 Tbsp tahini
• 6 Tbsp cider vinegar
• 4 Tbsp lemon juice
• 5 Tbsp soy sauce
• 6 cloves garlic
• ⅛ tsp xanthan gum

• 2 Tbsp sesame seeds, toasted
• 2 Tbsp parsley
• 2 Tbsp chives

Procedure

1. In a blender combine first eight ingredients and mix on high for about two minutes. You will see a change in the texture of the mixture as the Xanthan gum starts to work, the result is a very smooth, creamy appearance.
2. Add the final three ingredients and blend on low, just until mixed.

Notes, tips, and variations

• Xanthan gum is available in grocery stores, look in the natural grains section.
• Be careful with the xanthan gum; too much and the mixture will turn into a rubbery glob, too little and the oil and water will separate.
• If brand substitutions are made then the recipe may need adjustment. This dressing has a very strong flavors that need to be balanced. When in balance, the flavor really explodes.
