Roasted Vegetable Salad + Tahini Dressing
Mmmmm! This dressing served me very well over the course of a busy week. Mixed up and ready in the fridge it was fabulous drizzled over all sorts of things from the pictured selection of vegetables to a quick salad for dinner. It also meant I didn't have to look far for something easy and tasty to eat when walking through the door in the afternoons wanting to eat the leg off a chair and that meant not making any rash decisions out of hunger that I would regret. Try it, you won't be disappointed. If anything it is truly convenient.
For Vegetables
Prepare whatever vegetables you have on hand ( i had carrot, broccoli and zucchini) I tend to crank up the griller section of my oven and put a selection of vegetables cut into smallish size pieces under that along with a coating of coconut oil. Keep your eye on them however as they do burn quickly if left unattended.
I would think that steamed vegetables would also be tasty with this dressing
For Dressing
Adapted from Daily Raw
I like my dressings quite sharp so I have changed the original recipe to use only half the suggested amount of sesame oil. Original recipe calls for 4 T Sesame Oil so if you prefer it a little more mellow then add in an additional 2 Tbs.
2 Tbs Tahini
4 Tbs Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice
2 T Sesame Oil
2 Tbs Sesame Seeds
1 tsp sea salt
Place all ingredients in a jar and shake well to combine
Add desired amount to roast vegetables and enjoy!

Welcome
Hey There, I’m Sherilyn the creator of Wholepromise. This is where I venture outside of being a mum, wife and Fertility Nurse Specialist. I live on the Sunshine Coast in Qld, Australia and am spoilt by year round access to Farmers Markets offering a plethora of local, seasonal and organic produce. In all Wholepromise is my style of food, it’s the food I want my boys to appreciate and it’s the food that makes me happy. Styling and photographing it is just another bonus.

I too love tahini dressing over roast vegetables. It has been awhile since I've made it though, so thanks heaps for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteI tend to like my dressing a little sharp as well so this is perfect.
ReplyDeleteYum, this salad sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on keeping the dressing extra zingy - great healthy and nutritious dressing which I can imagine would go well with a garden salad too.
