You won’t miss dairy at all with this creamy dressing. Try this yummy Italian Tahini dressing on a simple bowl of greens, topped with whatever veggies you have in the fridge right now!

In fact, I love just grabbing whatever fresh, steamed or roasted veggies are left at the end of the week, along with leftover steamed/baked potatoes and toss it all on top of a bed of greens. In this case, I used romaine. Top it with a delicious dressing and voila, a super delicious and satisfying plant-based one-bowl meal.

Spending more time at home means preparing more meals, so now’s a great time to experiment with new recipes!

According to Anthony William, “Sesame seeds are a high energy food that help to provide optimum health and wellness. They are an excellent source of high-quality protein which is most beneficial for growth, especially in children. Sesame seeds are also high in minerals such as calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium, and selenium. In fact, did you know that just a 1/4 cup of sesame seeds provides MORE calcium than 1 cup of milk?”.

There’s so many varieties of tahini dressings online, lemon, orange, and more, and they’re all yummy. I just never considered an Italian version until I came across this recipe from Detoxinista.

I’ve made adjustments to meet my health and flavor guidelines so try it out and let me know what you think!

Since  I generally eat a plant-based low-fat diet to focus on healing my liver, I typically make fat free dressings, so it’s a real treat to enjoy a creamy yet still health-promoting dressing like this every once in a while.
