This delicious homemade tahini salad dressing is a family favorite! If you’re familiar with Annie’s Naturals Goddess Dressing, you’ll absolutely love the beautiful flavors captured by this tahini
salad dressing made from scratch. Here at home salad is included with every dinner and is often enjoyed at lunchtime too. I enjoy putting together gorgeous-looking salads. For me, salad creation is a bit of an art. My salads are never boring. I like to change things up by adding different ingredients depending on the season. But something that never changes is my love for my sister-in-law Jennie’s scrumptious recipe for Tahini Salad Dressing. It’s a true gem!
Bouquets of thanks to sweet Jennie for allowing me to share her fabulous tahini salad dressing recipe with you today. I find that the most incredibly flavorful recipes are those that are shared among family. Over the years we accumulate a small set of truly special recipes that have stood the test of time. They’re the ones that are requested time and again at family gatherings. It’s these precious, cherished recipes that we pass on to our children, and they to their children. This flavorful tahini salad dressing is one of those recipes. It’s counted among our family’s secret treasures. Now, thanks to Jennie, it can be your family’s too! There are only a few small differences between this recipe and the original salad dressing recipe made from scratch. I added in a sprinkling of delightful black pepper and a bit of sea salt. If you’re not familiar with tahini, it may be a little hard to locate in a grocery store when shopping for it for the first time. They will have it at your local market, but you may need to ask your grocer for some assistance with finding it on the shelf. Where I shop it was located near the organic maple syrup. You can also conveniently order tahini directly from Amazon.
A salad is just a salad until it’s brought to life with the perfect dressing. When drizzled over fresh greens and veggies, this tahini salad dressing heightens the fresh crisp flavor of the salad. It bring things to a whole new level of deliciousness. It’s the star of the show! I liken its taste to the clear sweet melody of your favorite song.
It’s quick and easy to make this yummy tahini salad dressing recipe. Just add all ingredients to a small/medium mixing bowl. With a small whisk, mix everything together until well combined. Transfer the mixture to a lovely salad dressing container that’s perfect for serving. When hosting a large gathering of family and friends, add the tahini salad dressing to the entire bowl of salad and toss it just before your guests start forming a serving line.
Now doesn’t this delightful tahini salad dressing look amazing and refreshing? It tastes just as good as it looks! I feel so blessed that our extended family enjoys getting together quite often. We love engaging in long relaxed visits, catching up on each other’s lives and sharing a meal. When I’m hosting the family gathering here at the house, my husband’s oldest brother and his wife Jennie always ask what they can bring. Our answer is alway the same: a loaf of artisan bread, a large salad, and Jennie’s famous homemade tahini salad dressing.
It makes me smile to know that our family’s gem of a recipe has now been passed on to you. It’s perfect for the holidays, backyard BBQs, parties and everyday enjoyment. Refrigerate the tahini salad dressing between uses. Because this recipe’s a keeper, I recommend pinning it to Pinterest so you can easily find it again later.

I absolutely love my nested glass mixing bowls. They come in handy for so many uses. I purchased my set at Crate and Barrel, but you can find a similar set on Amazon. Today I used the largest mixing bowl to serve my colorful salad. I used a much smaller mixing bowl to whip together the tahini salad dressing ingredients. For me it’s important that any kitchen tool I have can be used in many different ways.
I love my flat-bottom whisk that I purchased from The Pampered Chef. Above is another lovely flat-bottom whisk that’s perfect for mixing your tahini salad dressing. I bought my glass cruet at Home Goods, but here is a similar set of salad dressing dispensers with stoppers.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! As a Southern Woman, I tend to get stuck in a rut – making the same recipes that my mother, her mother, and HER mother have always made. We get stuck and we get bored. Then, food is no longer something to enjoy. With this awesome recipe, I was able to break out of my rut and not make my boys flip out, either! This was so yummy and now I have something new in my pantry to make even more delicious recipe with – tahini!

Tahini is one of my favourite sauces and I love how you have incorporated a fresh version in your salad. It looks absolute delicious , what camera do you use by the way?
This recipe does look amazing. I have always wanted to make my own salad dressings but I think I have been intimidated by the process for some reason. I don’t know why. I’ve even made mayonnaise and still not done dressing. I will have to try this one out though. Hope I can overcome my anxiety about it.
Looks delicious! After I saw your pictures and got the ingredients, I would definitely give it a try!
Ohh now, it’s my turn to thank you for sharing this recipe to your readers. I super appreciate it. I would do this and hopefully I can make it as good as yours. I am sure many would ask about this too so I will be sharing it as well, I hope you wouldn’t mind.
