Lemon Tahini Dressing

This lemon tahini dressing recipe has been my new favorite salad dressing. The tahini dressing recipe is dairy free, light and refreshing. I like this vegan tahini dressing recipe over romaine lettuce with red pepper, broccoli, carrots, roasted tamari almonds and goats feta cheese. So yummy!

Nutrition Tip ~ Eating fresh raw salads that include the colours of the rainbow is a great way to get in a wide variety of micronutrients. So many vitamins and minerals work together and often require another vitamin or mineral to act as a co-factor for specific functions to take place in the body, which is why you want to get all the nutrients in the diet. Supplementing with 1 vitamin or mineral sometimes doesn’t help if other co-factors are not supplied as well. Nature is full of a variety of micronutrients contained within foods that all work together…. so takeaway. Eat your salads and enjoy the colors of the rainbow!
