Creamy Vegan Tahini Dressing

This will soon become something you will want in
your refrigerator AT ALL TIMES ready to go for your next
inspired meal. Recently, I was a Personal Chef for a
Yoga Retreat and one of the meals I prepared was a
quinoa salad.

The recipe for the dressing contained peanut butter
and honey, so I adjusted these ingredients to make
this recipe vegan. Since then I have made this
multiple times and use it on everything from a
mixed greens salad, drizzled on chicken or
shrimp (for the non-vegetarians), and as a dip
for crunchy veggies.

This was dinner last night…………

AMAZING SUMMER SALAD
inspired by my CSA shares this week!
There are many elements to this deceptively
simple looking salad but when you
take a closer look, when all the ingredients are
assembled it turns into something………

WOW!!!!!

What are you having for dinner tonight?
