    Tahini Paleo Salad Dressing recipe that is so easy, creamy and delicious!  Go-to salad dressings are a must when adhering to a grain, gluten, and dairy-free lifestyle.  Luckily, this paleo salad dressing makes it easy.

    Tahini Paleo Salad Dressing - 24 Carrot Kitchen

    This is one of those recipes where I am driving around doing errands and I think, “I can’t wait to get home and have a salad with that awesome dressing!”.  It’s a perfect blend of ingredients and I just love it.  I must have a thing with vinegar because I try many types of vinaigrettes and sometimes the vinegar seems too strong and that is not my preference.  This Tahini Paleo Salad Dressing has no vinegar and seems to hit all the right notes with me: it’s tangy, tasty, a little garlicky, and it works.

    One of my all-time favorite summer sandwiches is a tomato, basil and mayo on focaccia bread.  Fresh summer tomatoes are a must for this sandwich.  The freshest Mayonnaise (and I apply it liberally) along with a dash of salt and pepper and it is just delish!

    The tahini I use for this dressing is called Tahini Cream and it is from Trader Joe’s.  It is in the refrigerated section.  I discovered this item when looking for regular tahini one day.  It works great and, of course, regular tahini would work just as wonderfully.

    This Tahini Paleo Salad Dressing is sure to become one of your favorites.  I have used it on all kinds of salads; kale and regular fresh garden lettuce salads.  If your salad has gluten free croutons, spread a little of this Tahini Salad Dressing on those, you will love it!  I haven’t eaten it straight, but it has crossed my mind. 🙂

    Also, here is a neat tip to squeeze lemons.  It’s easy peasy and you’ll realize you don’t need to buy a lemon juicer!  I am always on the look-out for easier ways to do things, so if you have a tip you would like to share, please leave a comment.  I greatly appreciate it!

    Are you asking yourself why are there cherry tomatoes in the background of the first photo, but none in the salad?  One of the wonders of the world, my friends.

      Thanks for the great recipe! We recently found out my s/o needs to cut dairy out of his diet, I was able to make this with things I already had, a lot of recipes call for a dairy-free milk and I haven’t been to the store since finding out about the diet change. He loves ranch dressing so I took your recipe and added ranch type seasonings (parsley, dill, onion powder, and a tiny bit of white wine vinegar for that tang). He loved it!
