This Maple Tahini Dressing is nutty and creamy with the perfect touch of sweetness. I love it on fresh salads, like my Kale and Cashew Salad (link in profile for recipe). It is also delicious as a dip for fresh vegetables and sweet potato fries.

To adapt for paleo substitute coconut aminos for tamari.

Ingredients:

2 Tablespoons tahini
2 Tablespoons maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 Tablespoon tamari
4 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1/4 cup olive oil
3-4 Tablespoons of cold water

Directions:

Place tahini, maple syrup, minced garlic, tamari and lime juice in a mini food processor and blend well.
With the food processor running, slowly add the olive oil until combined.
Gradually add cold water until you achieve the desired consistency.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

When I was following the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, honey was the only sweetener allowed. It is a monosaccharide so it is easily absorbed during digestion and fit in the strict guidelines of the diet. It continues to be my sweetener of choice. Raw honey contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. Research has also shown that local raw honey helps with seasonal allergies. I like to make a honey simple syrup to have on hand for sweetening cold liquids and drinks where honey on its own doesn’t dissolve well. What is your favorite sweetener?

It is nice to have a healthy snack on hand after a workout or to hold you over between meals. Quick and easy to make, these protein bites fit the bill.

1 1/2 cup almond flour
1/3 cup honey (sub real maple syrup for vegan)

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate

Directions:

•Mix together well until it forms a soft dough.
•Mix in the chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate.
•Roll the mixture into balls.
•Place the protein bites in the freezer until set.

I have been eating this Kale and Cashew Salad with Maple Tahini Dressing on repeat lately. I love the crunch from the kale, cabbage and cashews, and the punch of flavor from the mint, cilantro and Serrano pepper. The creamy maple tahini dressing ties all of the flavors and textures together nicely. It is my new favorite salad.
