Avocado Tahini Salad dressing is perfect for hearty salads, grilled veggies and grilled bread.
Today is a super easy and quick recipe for avocado tahini dressing and just in time for summer.
I've been known to try new things with avocado like my Creamy Avocado Hummus with Za'atar you know keep it sassy, right?
So..what about a salad dressing! It's thick, creamy and blends well with fresh flavors. Tahini is added to offer a nutty flavor and continue its creaminess and my favorite flavors were added to showcase the beautiful summer avocado.
This is a great dressing for hearty salads like my kale and chickpea salad and I spent the weekend spreading it over grilled ciabatta with fresh tomatoes (coming soon) and dolloping the dressing over hot grilled veggies. Just fabulous!

Awesome recipe I used it with my vegan walnut and mushroom taco meat recipe. I loved the thickness of it and the flavours really blended with the taco meat. A keeper, thank you for sharing!

Hi Victoria, So glad you enjoyed the Avo dressing. We will be doing your Walnut/Mushroom taco meat on meatless Monday. I have only done a meatless taco filling once, I used a premade wanna B Vegan thing last time and it was not wonderful. Have a wonderful week, Samantha.

Looks really tempting. How long will this last in the refrig?
Samantha says
Hi Sheila! Sorry fpr the delayed response...I'd say 3-4 days at most as the avocado will start to oxidize.

Oh this is just fabulous. Adding avocado into Greek food items? Might be the best idea ever.
