How can I make the dressing creamier?
Add tahini or Greek yogurt for a nutritious and creamy dressing. You may double or triple the dressing recipes below to have extra on hand. Tahini is made from ground sesame seed and is a versatile condiment used in dips such as hummus. To make a simple tahini-based dressing, add about 1/2 cup tahini, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 4 tablespoons of water, and the juice of 2 lemons to a bowl. Mix well, taste, and adjust the seasoning as needed. Greek yogurt is a strained yogurt made by the removal of whey and other liquids, resulting in a thicker texture, tangier taste, and higher protein content. For a basic Greek yogurt dressing, add about a 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 clove minced garlic, the juice of one lemon, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a pinch or two of black pepper to a bowl. Mix well, taste, and adjust the seasoning as needed.
