Raw Vegan Tahini Dressing or Dip

This delicious classic Goddess-style dressing makes the perfect complement to a mixed salad, including one with deep greens since its slightly sweet lemony flavor helps counteract their bitterness. Also works as a very tasty veggie dip served with crudités or raw veggies, such as celery sticks, carrot sticks, cucumber sticks, bell pepper strips, broccoli, cauliflower and asparagus spears.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup raw tahini (sesame seed butter)

½ cup raw apple cider vinegar

1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice

3 cloves raw garlic

2 tbsp. nama shoyu

2 tbsp. water

1 Medjool date, chopped

3 tbsp. first ​cold-pressed olive oil

Sea salt to taste

2 tsp. fresh parsley, chopped finely

Instructions:

1. Combine all ingredients other than the parsley in a blender or food processor and blend.

2. Add parsley and pulse until blended and finely chopped.

3. Dips will tend to be thicker, while dressings are usually thinner, so add a bit more water if necessary to thin to the right consistency for your intended purpose.

4. Serve fresh, or refrigerate to store. Enjoy! :) For more delightful raw vegan recipes like this one, please check out Raw From The Garden's website at www.RawFromTheGarden.com today!
