There are two types of people in this world: those who like dressings (and sauces) and those who don’t. I love dressings, and my turmeric and tahini salad dressing recipe is my all-time favorite.
The main ingredient in turmeric and tahini salad dressing is tahini, which is simply sesame seed butter. This gives the sauce a mild nutty flavor very similar to peanut butter. However, if you don’t have tahini in your pantry, just scroll down to find some alternatives you can use instead.
In addition, the sauce contains turmeric that is not only tasty but also beneficial for your health.
How to modify the recipe
Turmeric and tahini salad dressing can be made with ingredients you may already have in your cupboard. However, if you don’t have all of these ingredients, there are some substitutions you can use, and the recipe will still taste amazing.
- Instead of tahini, you can use almond butter, sunflower seed butter (or sun butter as it’s also called) or cashew butter. However, we do not recommend using peanut butter as a substitute.
- Avocado oil can be used in place of olive oil.
- Lemon juice is a delicious alternative to lemon juice. Apple cider vinegar can also be used, but add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) to the recipe because the flavor is stronger than lemon juice.
- You can use 1 or even 2 finely chopped garlic cloves in place of the garlic powder. Just add 1 garlic clove and taste the sauce to decide if you want to add more garlic.
- If you avoid eggplantYou can completely exclude black pepper.
Also, if you don’t have a blender, you can still easily make a turmeric and tahini sauce with very little elbow grease required.
Just mix half of the tahini with the rest of the ingredients. Once fully blended, whisk in the remaining tahini until the sauce is smooth.
