Sometimes I feel like a Goddess.
And why not? I’m beautiful (if I do say so mysef..), modest (ha!), and do all that I can to honor and respect my body, mind, and spirit.
I enter the qualifying rhelm of Goddess-ness by eating absolutely tongue-gripping foods.
One of which may or may not be this incredibly vibrant and tangy Tahini Green Goddess Dressing.
Created from the overwhelming craving for Fudenjuce’s Green Goddess Dressing that I have so lovingly drenched my vegetarian Middle Eastern Burrito in on occasion.
Delightfulicious.
Loaded with crisp cilantro.
Thickened with creamy tahini.
Claimed and overtaken by tamari (soy sauce), fresh lemon juice, spicy garlic and cayenne pepper, sweet, sweet maple syrup, salt, pepper… ooooh lala!
This sweet little sauce-of-the-God(dess)’s is absolutely incredible. One I definitely make often.
And pour over everything (chicken, tofu, salads, vegetables, spoons).
Not only is it delightful, it’s also super low in fat and calories. No guilt associated with slathering on anything and everything.
Tahini Green Goddess Dressing
Modified version of this dressing. Makes about 1 cup.
- 1 bunch fresh cilantro
- 1 tbsp tahini
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 garlic cloves
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
- 3-4 tbsp tamari or soy sauce
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp Amino Liquid Bragg’s
- pinch of cayenne pepper
- freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
In a blender, mix tahini and water until combined.
Add remaining ingredients and continue to mix until all ingredients are combined.
Adjust any flavors to your taste.
Notes:
- If you want a thinner dressing, add additional water.
- If you want a thicker dressing, add half a zucchini, cut into chunks.
- Don’t have Amino Liquid Bragg’s? Try a tbsp of miso!
- Want to shake this up a notch? Replace cilantro with fresh basil or parsley. Or both!
