This easy lemon tahini dressing is naturally oil-free. Sesame seeds, like nuts, of course contain natural oils. While I’ve always loved olive and coconut oil, I’ve recently been studying the work of Dr. Greger and Dr. Esselstyn who recommend getting fats from whole foods rather than oils. Many people on whole food plant based diets are “SOS free” which means they don’t consume added salt, oil or sugar. For example, eating whole olives rather than olive oil, and getting fats and oils from avocados and nuts.

Lemon Tahini Salad Dressing
1/4 cup tahini (I used Trader Joe's)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup water to thin
INSTRUCTIONS
Pour all ingredients into a small bowl or jar. Whisk together until smooth. If the tahini flavor is too strong for your taste, add a bit more apple cider vinegar and syrup to taste. Store in refrigerator or use on salads immediately. I like this tahini dressing best on green salads with Mediterranean flavors.
