Have the winter doldrums set in yet? It has for me in the frozen northland. This time of year is when I start craving healthier food like salads with bright dressings, like Lemon Tahini Dressing.

about lemon tahini dressing
You’re not going to get any brighter than this simple & fast creamy, Lemon Tahini Salad Dressing. It’s like a little ray of sunshine and hope breaking over the dull winter horizon! Bonus that it’s healthy, too.
Lemon Tahini Salad Dressing is tart and fun and the perfect thing to drizzle over sturdy winter greens. I love this dressing on my Shaved Brussels & Kale Salad with Chicken Breast.
Lemon Tahini Salad Dressing
lemon tahini dressing is versatile
Any of the heavier cruciferous veggies, kale, cabbage & Brussels go so well with this dressing, and the lemony flavor is bright enough to work well with the healthier salad add-ins, like sweet potato, chickpeas or any ancient grains. You’ll have no dull salads with this dressing!
money-saving tips for lemon tahini dressing
When shopping for these ingredients, as long as your lemon is fresh, don’t worry about color. Instead, pick up several and feel the weight of them. Choose the heaviest. They’ll be the juiciest.
Tahini can be very pricey. When you buy it, have plans to use it all in a reasonable time, and store the jar upside down in the fridge. Miso keeps forever, months in the fridge, so there are no worries.

A creamy, bright and healthy lemon salad dressing.
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Total Time: 5 minutes
- Yield: 1/3 cup 1x
Ingredients
- 1/2 large lemon, juiced
- 1 tablespoon white miso
- 1 tablespoon tahini
- 2 teaspoons oil
- 1 teaspoons honey
Instructions
Whisk together the lemon juice, miso, tahini, oil & honey.
Notes
No tahini? Use almond butter, instead, in this salad dressing for a different but just as good taste.
If you’re making a kale salad, save out a teaspoon of the lemon juice to “massage” your kale. Sprinkle the lemon juice, an additional tablespoon of oil and a little salt over your kale & rub briskly with clean hands for about a minute.
This dressing is a part of my Chicken Breast Meal Prep Lunches for Two.
