Instructions

Lemon Tahini Dressing (with herbs)

Add juice, zest and finely chopped herbs to thick tahini dressing, and stir together.

Yogurt Tahini Dressing

Stir the yogurt and tahini dressing together until smooth. Adjust quantities to give the consistency you want.

Japanese Miso Tahini Dressing

Mix thick tahini dressing, sweet white miso, tamari, and finely chopped nori, or other seaweed. If you want a stronger flavour, use a different style of miso. To ensure a gluten free dressing, use tamari rather than regular soy sauce.

Indian Tahini Dressing

Mix thin tahini dressing, curry powder or paste, turmeric and chili sauce. Adjust the amounts to taste. If the sauce it too spicy, add some Greek yogurt.
For a more mellow sauce, dry fry the curry powder and turmeric. Then allow the spices to cool before combining with the tahini.

Italian Tahini Dressing

Mix thin tahini dressing, sundried tomato paste, balsamic vinegar and finely chopped fresh basil.

Garlic Tahini Dressing

Add crushed garlic to thin tahini dressing. Start with one clove per 60ml of dressing, and adjust to your preference.
For a more mellow garlic flavour, slowly fry the garlic in a little oil. Then allow it to cool before mixing into the tahini.

Maple Tahini Dressing

Stir maple syrup into thin tahini dressing.
