    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!

    • Olive Oil
    • Water
    • Salt and Pepper
    1. Blend all ingredients together in a food processor or blender. It will be a tad thick, so you can thin it out with more lemon juice or water.

        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.
