Goddess Dressing

Winona, that's the most delicious salad dressing I have ever tasted. I made a couple of adjustments based on what I had in my kitchen - no nama shoyu (just celtic sea salt), no honey (added dates), no organic peanut butter (added a handful of soaked almonds and a few cashews....wow, wow, wow... I am taking it to a family pot luck tonight. I know it will be a great hit. Thanks very much.

Use only a pinch of salt, don't use 1Tbsp of salt here:

"1� tablespoons nama shoyu (not raw) or celtic sea salt"

The sesame seeds can be used instead of tahini - only if you're using a high speed blender! If your blender is not a vitamix, then you should purchase tahini from the store.

Karuna - glad you liked it! The sesame tahini dressing is a staple in my house. Thinning it with water is a great idea, as it's a fairly thick dressing. It's fantastic on carrots, raw sandwiches, avocados, and salads.

If the Xantham gum is just there to make it thicker, a raw sub would be Irish Moss - it will thicken up your dressing just fine! It is healthier too.

Oh, one other thing - I thinned it out with water so that it will pour.

Instead of Soy Sauce and Xantham gum, just put in about 2 TBSP of Miso paste - i know it's not raw, but it's closer to raw then those 2 ingredients. I use Chick Pea Miso...

for some reason I can't find the sesame tahini dressing.. can you post it here?

also.. if you use the sauce in krissy's kale chip recipe as a dressing it's very goddess like.. that's my fave dressing too

Mewmewmint - I posted my raw version of Annie's goddess dressing at the link above. It tastes exactly like the store bought dressing!

This is an easy one--leave out the xantham gum, add a little less water and check the consistency. Use Apple cider vinegar for the raw vinegar or all lemon juice, you can sub miso for the nama shoyu if you want and use flax oil--between that and the tahini this will be a thick dressing.

xanthan gum helps things stick together. it also makes things taste fattier.

it is made from bacteria and sugar. so not really raw i suppose. i have used it in baking in the past with gluten-free recipes.
