Today I have this most delicious and slightly addicting dressing-dip to share with you. I used this dressing in a recent post with steamed broccoli, Broccoli + Tahini Miso Dressing, and have been loving it ever since. It pairs great as a dip for sliced raw veggies too, or use it as a dressing in a slaw salad or any of your usual leafy lettuce salads. You could also use it as a spread for sandwiches. It's a nice mix up from the Simple White Bean Hummus and Favorite Hummus that I usually make. All in all, this is a great versatile dressing for use with raw, steamed or roasted vegetables. Make this thick or thin to suit your needs.
Tahini, which is made of sesame seeds, is a great source of calcium...1/4 cup contains 351 mg of calcium, slightly more than 1 cup of milk provides. It also contains vital nutrients like copper, manganese, zinc, iron, phosphorus, vitamin B1 (thiamin), vitamin E, protein and fiber.
Miso is also a beneficial addition to this dressing. Its health benefits include being a complete protein containing all essential amino acids. It's a quality source of the essential vitamin B-12. Miso stimulates the secretion of digestive fluids in the stomach and restores beneficial probiotics to the intestines. And it is high in antioxidants to fight free radicals while also strengthening the immune system.
