Ginger Tahini Miso Dressing

These days, I would have to be pretty desperate to actually buy a salad dressing. The conventional salad dressings sold in the grocery stores are all really low quality. It’s also disappointing to see that even the ‘healthy’ salad dressings are using canola oil or soybean or other low grade vegetable oils.

A lot of people also comment that heating healthy food is expensive. But if you can source out and buy good quality ingredients in bulk (or larger quantities) and make most everything yourself, you will be saving your health and yourself a lot of money. My perspective is that food in the stores is becoming so much more expensive and I can’t afford to spend $5 on a jar of cheap salad dressing. So I make all my dressings myself and I make them exactly how I like them, without all the added sugar that most companies add. I usually make a bigger batch and then put it in a jar in the fridge for the week.

You can either make the tahini yourself or buy a jar of raw organic tahini. I am going to describe how to make it with just straight up sesame seeds to show people how easy it is.

*Note: this makes a big batch of dressing, enough for a big family for at least a few days! You can easily cut this recipe in half, for a smaller batch of dressing.

What you will need for this raw living food recipe:

Kitchen Equipment: Food processor and Vita-Mix or high powered blender

• 5 cups sesame seeds
• 2 cups hemp oil (or olive oil)
• 2 cups water
• 1/2 cup lemon or lime juice
• 1/2 cup of chickpea miso
• 2 inch knob of ginger
• 1/4 cup of ginger juice
• 3-5 cloves garlic (optional)
• 2 t salt
• 1 t cumin
• 2 t black pepper
• 1/2 t ground whole stevia leaf (you can also you a t of raw organic honey if you like)

In the food processor, process 5 cups of sesame seeds to as smooth as you can get it. Add 1/2 cup of hemp oil (or olive oil) to the processor to help it get nice and smooth.

In the Vita-mix add all your ingredients except your 1.5 c of oil that you have left. Mix in your blender. Add the sesame mix that you just processed in the processor. Blend on high until smooth. Slowly add in the remaining oil, blend on high until smooth. This is a nice dressing that you can use on salads or as a sushi roll dipping sauce. If you like a little spice, sometimes I add a little chilli or cayenne spice just to change things up a bit. This should be enough dressing to host a small party or for your family at least for the week.

Enjoy this creamy, vegan living food dressing!
