This tahini-based Caesar dressing is deliciously smooth and tangy. If you need an egg-free or dairy-free Caesar dressing recipe, this is the one! Serve it over chopped romaine and/or massaged kale, with homemade croutons and a sprinkle of vegan Parmesan cheese on top, if you’d like. Recipe yields a generous ½ cup, enough for 4 to 6 side salads made from 5 ounces of romaine and 1 medium bunch of kale.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup tahini
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice (about 1 ½ lemons)
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon fine salt
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, mustard, and salt. Whisk until blended, then add the water and whisk until you have a smooth, blended tahini sauce. Season generously with black pepper (about 10 twists).
  2. The dressing should be tangy, like classic Caesar dressing. If it’s overwhelmingly tart or too thick to pour, whisk in an additional tablespoon of water. Use as desired, or refrigerate it, covered, for up to 5 days (if it thickens as it cools, thin it with water as needed).
