Five minute vegan tahini herb dressing - for those days when you need a little extra something that will elevate your dinner from average to .. whoa!
The real reason why I am sharing this easy tahini herb dressing is in preparation for a delicious veggie bowl that I will be sharing on Thursday.
This sauce + that veggie bowl = veghead dreams come true.
But you'll have to wait for that bowl because today is all about this vegan tahini herb sauce.
And you don't need a veggie bowl to enjoy it... you can drizzle it on your burritos, tacos, nachos, fries, or even on a salad. The possibilities are endless.
Let's talk ingredients:
- we're using cashews for that super creamy base.. I use a vitamix and don't soak my cashews, but if your blender is not very powerful I'd soak them for 30 minutes so that it can be super creamy.
- tahini, for that tasty nutty flavor. Tahini is just sesame seeds that have been ground down into a nut butter. Always check ingredients - it should only say sesame seeds!
- garlic, because garlic make everything taste better (except dessert, maybe.)
- white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar for a tiny bit of acidity
- and any fresh green herb of your choice - cilantro, parsley, dill.

I didn’t have parsley so I added some basil to the dressing and it was delicious! How long will this stay fresh in the refrigerator?
Love your blog!

Hi Tracey! Thanks for stopping by 🙂 Basil sounds like a fantastic option – I’ll have to try it this way next time. I like to keep my sauces/dressings in an airtight container in the fridge, and they will usually last anywhere from 2 to 4 days… sometimes they last longer and other times they spoil really quickly 🙁 .. but the magic number is somewhere in between that. If you need it to last for a longer time (for meal prepping for example) you can try freezing it – I haven’t tried it yet, but it should work and that will help keep the dressing fresh.
