I can not take credit for this recipe, although I wish I could because it's so versatile and delicious. This recipe came from Chad Sarno's cook book called Crazy Sexy Kitchen. I of course, tweaked it a little and I suppose I could say that the extra LOVE comes from the Sriracha hot sauce. Tahini is just finely ground up sesame seeds; Sesame seeds contain the highest source of absorbable calcium out of any food! So stop drinking cows milk to get your calcium, it is not a good absorbable source and it actually makes the body very acidic. Disease grows in acidic bodies. The tablespoon of organic olive oil isn't just for flavour, it actually allows your fat soluble vitamins to be absorbed!
1/2 cup raw tahini
1 tablespoon organic olive oil
3/4cup water
2 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seed oil
1 1/2 tablespoons organic gluten free tamari light
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon Sriracha hot sauce
Fresh ground pepper to taste
Method
Place everything into a blender and blender until smooth. Once you put it in the fridge it will get thicker, you could add a little water to thin it out or just let it sit out until it reaches room temperature. Don't worry it will still taste freakin delicious.
Cook Outside the Box
Steam vegetables like kale, broccoli, carrots and sweet potato. Serve the vegetables over warm quinoa and pour some tahini dressing over the top
Make roasted vegetables or homemade falafels and top it with tahini dressing
Make a big green lettuce salad with chickpeas, red peppers, tomatoes and onion and toss your salad with the tahini dressing. Voila!
Bon Appetit!
