Dress your salad up like a pro with the easy avocado tahini dressing. It’s simple to make, free from gluten and oil, and can be ready in 5 minutes or less.
Ingredients
- 1 large avocado (about 3/4 cup)
- 1/2 cup tahini
- Juice from 1/2 a lemon (1 tablespoon)
- 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cups water*
- 1 teaspoon dried dill (or 1 tablespoon fresh)*(see notes)

Notes

- This pairs well with our Vegan Tempeh Bacon.

I used this dressing with a surf and turf salad my youngest made. They used Caesar dressing for theirs but I am dairy and gluten intolerant (double whammy) so I used this instead. Very happy with the end results. I sprinkled a little nutritional yeast in the dressing since I didn’t have any butter on the crab meat. Will definitely be drizzling this on some roasted veg and salads this week. Big fan!

Made this dressing last night to go with the walnut mushroom tacos and felt that the amount of tahini was way too much. It overpowered all of the other ingredients. I may try to make it again but using a lot less tahini.
So sorry that you didn’t like the tahini! Tahini brands vary in bitterness and “strength”, so I totally get that it may have been too much for your tastebuds. I hope you enjoy it more next time!
Hi, this recipe looks so attractive! But can I replace the dill and chive with some dried mixed herbs? Thanks!:D
Yes! You can use any herbs that you would like 🙂 We have tried it with cilantro too and it’s tasty on tacos. I’ll make a note in the recipee!
How is the tahini made or is it already made in a jar ?
It is already made! 🙂
