“Goddess” Dressing

I often joke that if I weren’t a yoga teacher, I would start a salad-dressing company.  One of the easiest things to make, homemade salad dressings are a great way to get a lot of vitamins and nutrients at once, while making your greens more exciting. Below is my favorite salad dressing, and one I make weekly. The combo of B12-rich and high protein miso and omega-3 loaded flax oil provides vegans a lot of nutritional value difficult to find elsewhere. Toss it with salad greens, edamame, avocado and almonds for a light but satisfying meal.

1 heaping tablespoon white miso

1 heaping tablespoon tahini (raw or roasted— both are great)

Juice of 1 lemon

½ cup flax oil

1 garlic clove

fresh ginger (I put about a finger’s length)

1 bunch fresh dill (or dried if not in season—about 1 teaspoon)

water to thin it out

Mix all ingredients in a mini food processor for about a minute.  Add small amounts of water until the mixture is creamy but liquid. Store in container in fridge and it will last about a week.
