Hey tearty, what's wrong with salads?
Leafy greens are great. But most dressings are made with oil. And oil isn't a whole food. It has no fiber, and far fewer vitamins and minerals than the food it came from. And it's 100% fat.
My friend Trevor Justice, Owner of The Vegetarian Health Institute, just typed up a short post about oil-free salad dressings. To read it, click here.
Lemon-Miso-Tahini Dressing & Fresh Dill
Lemon-Miso-Tahini Dressing & Fresh Dill
Here's a delicious recipe by Meredith McCarty demonstrating how you can make a dressing from tahini. Her web site is www.healingcuisine.com .
Tahini is a purée of hulled sesame seeds. Because the kernels have been removed, tahini doesn't contain all of the seed's original fiber. But it's still closer to being a whole food than sesame oil. It's more bitter than almond butter, but equally creamy. Like avocado, it contains 80% calories from fat.
Makes 1/2 to 3/4 cup
1/4 cup sesame tahini
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon any light-colored miso
1 tablespoon fresh dill, minced
1 clove garlic, minced or pressed
3 to 4 tablespoons water, start with less
If you chop the dill and garlic finely, you can whisk the ingredients together in a bowl, adding water gradually until you achieve the texture you desire.
This dressing is too thick for most regular blenders to puree. But if you have a Vitamix, you can blend it all without having to chop the garlic and dill so finely.
