Vegan Green Goddess Dressing with Tahini
Description
The Vegan Green Goddess Dressing with Tahini delivers a fresh blend of parsley, cilantro, dill, and green onion, processed finely with garlic and seasoning. The addition of tahini brings a creamy texture, while lemon juice adds brightness and acidity. Adjusting water quantity achieves the preferred pourable consistency. An option to include jalapenos provides a spicy variation to suit different palates.
This dressing works well for drizzling over raw vegetables, grilled meats, shrimp lettuce wraps, or as a dressing for fresh salads. It can also complement pita sandwiches and hearty bowls, lending a creamy herbal note to various preparations.
The recipe advises making the dressing ahead of time to allow flavors to meld for a couple of hours or up to a day. Store it in a tightly sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to five days. Variations include swapping herbs or adding capers for different flavor profiles.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups parsley leaves and tender stems, packed, fresh
- 1 1/2 cups cilantro leaves and tender stems, or basil, packed fresh
- ½ cup dill or 1 to 2 teaspoons dry dill weed, packed, fresh
- 1 green onion trimmed, white and green parts, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves
- kosher salt
- red pepper flakes optional
- ½ cup tahini
- 2 lemon juice of
- water 1/4 to 1 cup
Variation
- jalapeno pepper sliced into rounds (for a hot vegan green goddess dressing, 1 to 2
Instructions
- Add the fresh herbs, dried dill weed, green onion, and garlic to the bowl of a large food processor fitted with a blade. (If making the hot version, add the jalapenos here as well). Season with a big pinch of kosher salt and red pepper flakes. Close the lid and run the processor to finely chop the herbs.
- Add the tahini and lemon juice. Close the lid and run the processor again until well-combined. Stop and scrape the sides down. The mixture will be thick at this point.
- Run the processor again, this time, drizzle water through the top opening. You will need anywhere from ¼ cup of water to 1 cup of water until the mixture turns creamy and runny to your liking (I wanted mine more like a dressing, so I used about ¾ cup of water).
- Taste and adjust seasoning to your liking. Use or transfer the green goddess dressing to a 12-ounce mason jar and cover tightly. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Make the dressing several hours before serving to let the flavors blend well.
- Store in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Use it as a dressing for salads, drizzle over grilled meats, or in wraps and bowls.
- Try variations by adding jalapenos for heat or swapping herbs like basil or mint.
