Tasteful Tahini Salad Dressing

Submitted by mishugana

"I hate mayo, but I love hummus/tahini. A lot of dressings contain mayo, but this recipe combines tastes from different cultures, provides a healthy alternative and does not disappoint. People are always asking for the recipe and can make any salad into a meal. The tahini gives it a middle eastern feel and the lemon, garlic and ginger flavors really give it a kick! Easy to make, just needs a blender or a food processor. experiment with fresh lemon juice, fresh ground ginger, adding a bit more lemon or a bit less garlic, or putting a ground mint in. works well on anything, especially on simple salad... eg: romaine radicchio or buttercrunch..."
