Tahini Dressing
Looking for a salad dressing that's a bit tangy, creamy, and a bit hearty all at the same time? This tahini salad dressing just may be the ticket.
What I love about this dairy-free dressing is that it's so versatile and becomes my favorite sauce for any grilled foods, in particular chicken and vegetables.
It's amazing on salads, of course, but also a great dipping sauce for fries!
