Notes

Tips for Making Vegan Tahini Dressing
  • Nutrition facts are an estimate.
  • Stir tahini in the jar before measuring it to use in the recipe. Oil tends to rise to the top.
  • To make gluten-free, eliminate soy sauce and sub in ¼ teaspoon of salt.
  • Use a food processor or whisk ingredients together.
  • Add more or less water to get the desired consistency. 
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
