crunchy bits

Start those tomato seeds! You won’t want to miss out making one of the most de- licious dips/dressings ever!

I used to enjoy this dip at our very good friend Brigid’s house. Finally, we had her make it in front of us and another foodie friend and I made educated estimates on the amounts she was putting in of the ingredients. After a couple taste tests and additions, we had it! This recipe makes a whopping 7 cups. Sometimes I cut it in half and other times I make the whole batch since it is the perfect dip or salad dressing.

Brigid’s Tomato Tahini Dressing

• 1 1/2 c. cold pressed extra vigin olive oil
• 1 1/4 c. water
• 1/4 c. apple cider vinegar
• 1/3 c. wheat- free tamari
• 2/3 c. nutritional yeast
• 2 tomatos
• 1/3 c. tahini (homemade, of course!)
• 1/2 tsp. sea salt
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tsp. raw sesame seeds
• 2 1/2 tsp psyllium husk powder

Blend all ingredients. That’s it!

This is pretty thick and holds up fantastic as a dip but is light enough to be a dressing as is. If you would like it thicker or thinner, adjust the psyllium husk powder to your liking.

The color of this dressing is a beautiful red. It is a sure sign that warm weather is here!
