dressed salad

We’ll be heading into a new year, it’s a natural time to start eating healthier or to add healthy habits to our already healthy regime.

For many, an easy way to eat healthier is to eat more salads. This dressing will make your salads more satisfying, filling and healthier. Sesame seeds contain iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, copper, manganese, fiber and protein.

The tahini (sesame seed paste), this salad dressing is a great way to support the calcium needs of anyone and vegans in particular.

Ingredients:

¼ C. raw organic tahini

1 T. apple cider vinegar

Molly’s Salt/pepper/onion powder/cumin to taste (about ½ t. each)

1 t. Honey (More if you like sweeter dressings. Raw local honey is best for immune and seasonal allergy support.)

1 T. water

(Note: I’ve included several different spices following salt and pepper. These are all optional and shouldn’t stop you from making the recipe if you don’t have them.)

Directions:

A metal spoon is being used to stir a Real Food mixture in a bowl.

In a large bowl, add all ingredients. Whisk to incorporate and blend. Toss greens (and any other vegetable you enjoy) in the dressing. Enjoy it as is or with your favorite toppings!

A bowl of nutrient-rich greens tossed with a pair of tongs, prepared by a certified nutritionist who emphasizes the importance of real food.

(That’s it. Pretty simple and oh so delicious!)
