Vegan Tahini Goddess Dressing Recipe

This vegan version of the tahini-based "Goddess" Dressing found in many health food stores and restaurants is easy to make at home. If you like the store-bought goddess dressings, you'll love this one made with tahini, lemon juice, and parsley. It is egg-free and dairy-free, unlike traditional green goddess dressing. You can find many ways to use this goddess dressing besides dressing a green salad. Use it to make coleslaw instead of mayonnaise, to dress plain steamed vegetables, and to put on leftover pasta to make cold pasta salads. It's a great substitute for ranch dressing as a dip for plain veggies such as carrot sticks and cucumbers. There are easy substitutions to make for special diets. If you need it to be gluten-free, use a gluten-free tamari instead of soy sauce. You can omit the agave nectar or sugar if you need it to be sugar-free. But the sugar does add an extra layer of flavor to make it truly special (and it's just a little bit).
