Sometimes the best way to eat fresh vegetables is raw. You can make salads that don’t have a lettuce base or you can serve these dressings over steamed or roasted vegetables and rice. I like to serve the tahini dressing with chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers with steamed brown rice on the side.

Tahini dressing

Mix the following in a food processor or blender:

Juice of 1 lemon

1-2 garlic cloves, minced

1/2 cup water

1/2 cup tahini

1 tsp honey

1 1/2 tsp tamari

1 tsp coriander

1 tsp cumin

2 tbsp olive oil

1/4 tsp sat

optional: you can add a bit of yogurt.

Miso Ginger Dressing

Mix the following in a  food processor or blender. This dressing also goes well with steamed fresh vegetables–like yard-long beans–and rice.

1 tbs rice vinigar

1 tbs miso

2 tsp grated ginger

1 clove garlic

1/2 tsp sugar or honey

pinch pepper

3 tbsp oil, like peanut or coconut
