Tasteful Tahini Salad Dressing
This tasteful tahini salad dressing is full of Middle Eastern flavors; lemon, garlic, red wine vinegar, and ginger give it a kick! It's easy to make in a blender and very versatile — add a bit less tamari, more lemon juice, and a pinch of ground mint if you prefer. People always ask me for this salad dressing recipe.
