Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 5.92kcal
Ingredients
- 2 ½ Tablespoons tahini
- 2 Tablespoons freshly-squeezed lime juice
- 1 Tablespoon coconut aminos alt. ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon ginger powder alt. 2 teapoons fresh minced ginger
- *Water to thin
Instructions
- Squeeze out your fresh lime juice, then peel your fresh ginger (if using) with a spoon and grate it with a micro-plane; you'll need about 1" of fresh root.
- Add your lime juice, tahini, ginger, maple syrup, and coconut aminos to a bowl, then blend it well. You can use an immersion blender, high-powered milk frother, or a small food processor; any of these would do the job, though the latter would whip it up more. Voila! Your ginger lime tahini dressing is all ready to use.
Notes
Ginger Puree: I personally used ginger powder for this recipe, because I adore how smooth I can get the tahini dressing with it (plus that store-bought ginger puree is full of preservatives!). But if you like that texture, I highly recommend grating your own fresh ginger into a puree rather than purchasing it, especially if you're eating low histamine.
Making a Salad: This ginger lime dressing goes great on everything, in my opinion, but I especially like adding almonds or chia seeds for crunch, and some sort of berry or apple for a fresh punch of flavor. If you can tolerate it, this tastes amazing with goat cheese or any other fresh soft cheese. I like pulled-apart chicken breasts for protein, or even pieces of grilled lamb or bison.
How Many Servings?: This low histamine salad dressing recipe makes about ¾ of a cup of dressing (without using any water), which dresses about 6 salads for me, but might be anywhere from 4 to 8 for you.
