Vinaigrettes are great but a creamy dressing can turn just about any salad into a love affair. Mayonnaise is one dairy-free option that creates lush creamy dressings but there’s another simple trick we love just as much...whisking tahini and water. By whisking cold water into tahini you create a creamy texture with a nutty background, that when combined with other herbs and vinegars, creates a savory and satiating dressing. This one is for all the balsamic fans! When you’re looking for a good balsamic make sure to check the label to avoid ones that are full of sugar. Go for less sweet options or ones that are naturally sweetened, like the one we used, which has date syrup as the sweetener.
