"Hummus" aka Miso Tahini Dressing. Try this now!
This dressing is a new family favorite inspired by the Miso Ranch recipe in Healthy-ish. The miso adds an umami flavor without having to add MSG as a flavor enhancer, which some bottled dressings contain. It makes a killer dip for veggies.
My kiddos call the dressing “hummus” because of the tahini. They love dipping roasted veggies in it. It is also nut-free school friendly which means you can pack it for snack or lunch.
I love that the recipe has a TON of ingredients. My kiddos take turns and help me measure and pour in the ingredients to the blender. It whips up in 30-seconds in a high-speed blender.

Ingredients:
(
Makes about 1 3/4 cups
)
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (juice from about three lemons)
2 tsp. sherry vinegar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup smooth liquid tahini
2 tbsp. white miso
1/2 tsp. Dijon or whole grain mustard
1 tsp. pure maple syrup
1/2 cup filtered water
1 1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/8 tsp. kosher salt
3 to 5 cranks of freshly ground pepper
Instructions:
1. Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor until incorporated and smooth.
2. Store in the fridge for up to one week.
Chef Carla Notes:
A trick to measuring the tahini is to place the olive oil in the liquid measuring cup first.
What to dress: This makes a crazy-good dressing and can sub in anywhere you’d typically use a creamy dressing, like on crunchy romaine (instead of Cesar dressing) or on a wedge of iceberg lettuce (instead of blue cheese dressing).
I love the miso tahini dressing drizzled on a salad with a double dose of crunch—think a mix of raw and roasted vegetables like red peppers, carrots, cauliflower, squashes, cucumbers, beets and radishes, and instead of croutons, add a sprinkling of salted and roasted sunflower seeds and top with kimchi. Kimchi gives your salad a huge probiotic punch!

This is the perfect drink for a hot summer day. If you are in the north east, like me you know these days are numbered, the leaves are already falling! It’s inspired by the Venezuelan drink, Tizana, which is made with chopped fruit and grenadine and can be spiked.
