Tahini Caesar Dressing

This Tangy tahini dressing is a terrific alternative to the traditional caesar. Convert this recipe to vegan by substituting plant-based yogurt for the yogurt and using nutritional yeast instead of parmesan cheese.

INGREDIENTS —

• ¼ cup tahini

• ¼ cup fresh lemon juice

• ½ teaspoon lemon zest

• 1 tablespoon plain yogurt or plant-based yogurt

• 1 small garlic clove

• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

• ½ cup grated parmesan cheese

• ¼ cup cold water

• A dash of salt, pepper and cayenne, to taste

INSTRUCTIONS —

In a blender or food processor, combine all ingredients and pulse until smooth (makes about 1 cup).
