Light and Delicious Salad Dressing!!

It's finally here...something "Delectable" (as my father would say and then laugh)
He once heard a teacher use that word regarding a mango that she was cutting up to let the kids in the class taste. Teachers...ah well...the great ones we never forget!


Lemon-Tahini Dressing

Makes a half cup
Lemon is the perfect match to sorrel, spring lettuce, cress and aromatic herbs.
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled, mashed and finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (2 lemons)
  • 1 tablespoon tahini
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
In a small bowl ,a jar with a lid or a salad dressing bottle (as above), combine garlic, lemon juice, tahini ( made from sesame seeds), honey and oil. Stir with a spoon (or shake) until blended. At first, it will look like the ingredients will not blend. But it will emulsify! Season to taste with sea salt and pepper.
