Miso Tahini Sauce

Rather than top salad or dip veggies in ranch dressing which provides few healthy nutrients, use salad dressing and dips as a way to make your meal healthier. Fermented miso paste is a great thing to keep in the fridge to add flavour (umami) to sauces, dressings and marinades, not to mention making miso soup! Tahini is a sesame seed paste that is rich in healthy fats, calcium, potassium and fibre. Just a tablespoon of each of these pastes adds an extra 6 grams of protein to your meal. 

 

Serves 4

¼ cup miso paste

¼ cup tahini

Juice of 1 lemon

2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed

Boiled warm water to thin

 

Combine equal parts miso and tahini pastes then add lemon juice and garlic. Thin with boiled, warm water to a drizzling consistency.

Drizzle on a buddha bowl, salad or use as a veggie dip or a salmon marinade.
