Orange Sesame Dressing

This simple, creamy dressing packs irresistible flavor. When you're looking for a healthy, oil-free dressing this is great choice. You can easily get variety by adding different spices, herbs or fresh fruit.

Yeilds 2 cups

Ingredients

½ c water

¾ c tahini

¼ c miso (optional)

2 oranges, juiced

1 tsp garlic powder

¼ tsp onion granules

¼ tsp cumin

Blend water, tahini, miso, and orange juice to an even consistency. Add spices and blend again. If you would like the dressing thinner, add 1-2 T more of water or orange juice. The blending will warm the dressing, making it a nice complement to steamed greens or starches. To use for salads, feel free to chill the dressing for +20 minutes in the refrigerator.

Note: If not using miso, start with just orange juice and tahini, leaving the water until the very end. Only add enough water to give it the desired consistency.
