    Tahini Dressing is one of my go-to salad dressings. I have used it as a dip for wraps and I love to dress it over a salad with something sweet like dried cranberries or sweet potato.

    I made a similar tahini dressing for my Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Apples, which is perfect for this time of year. This dressing tastes great on Roasted Cauliflower Steaks or an Edamame Buddha Bowl.

    The nuttiness of the tahini is a nice contrast to something sweet. This vegan dressing is sure to become a staple in your house!

    Other tahini dressings to try are my Maple Tahini Dressing recipe, Turmeric Tahini Dressing recipe, Miso Ginger Tahini Dressing, and Roasted Red Pepper Tahini Dressing. You might also like my Noodles with Tahini Sauce.
