Light Goddess Dressing

Significantly lower in fat that store-bought varieties, this dairy-free Goddess Dressing is elegant, but so simple to make!

While I still wouldn't call this recipe low in fat, it is significantly lighter than traditional goddess dressing recipes that often call for mayonnaise and sour cream as a base, as well as the popular store-bought variety that is incredibly high in calories and fat. This recipe is so simple to make that it has become a workweek staple in my home. I love serving this over a mixed greens salad, lightly steamed beets, poached fish or even cold pasta.

  • 3 green onions, whites removed, chopped

  • 1 T. low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 t. salt,
  • 2 T. olive oil
  • 2 T. tahini

Preparation:

1. Place all of the ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until well combined. Serve cold.

Delicious!, Member jaimenicolec

I'm on a cleanse right now and avoiding all dairy products and eating tons of veggies and grains. I was looking for a rich and delcious sauce to top a meal-in-a-bowl and found this recipe. I made it last night and it was so delicious it blew my mind. I served it on top of quinoa, steamed beets, and steamed kale + turnip greens and I was licking the bowl. Going to try it on a spinach salad later today and can't wait. I'm trying to limit soy a bit so I tried a new product I saw at my co-op: plain coconut yogurt. Also I subbed tamari for soy sauce as that is what I usually have. I whipped it up in my magic bullet blender and in a few seconds had one of the most delicious, rich, filling dressings I've ever eaten.
