Annie’s Goddess Dressing Copycat - Gluten-and-Dairy-free

This Annie’s Goddess Dressing copycat recipe is tangy, rich and full of nutty flavor, even better than the store-bought product. It combines the earthiness of tahini with the tartness of lemon and vinegar and just the right amount of garlic. Make it thick to coat the greens or thin it just a bit for easy pouring.

Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Spatula
  • Whisk

Ingredients

  • ½ cup tahini sesame seed paste, such as Once Again unsweetened creamy tahini
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons tamari or coconut aminos
  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley or 2 tablespoons fresh finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 ½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice about 1 medium lemon
  • 2-3 teaspoons fresh garlic about 2-3 cloves, pressed or chopped, see note
  • ½ teaspoon Redmond's pink salt
  • Water if needed about 1 tablespoon

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in the food processor.
  • Blend for 1 minute or so, or until all the garlic has been chopped into fine bits.

Notes

  • Tahini paste can vary quite a bit in flavor depending on the brand. Some are quite bitter, but we have had good results with Once Again brand.
  • Be sure to stir the tahini well once you open it, and keep tahini in the refrigerator after opening.
  • To make this dressing without a food processor, use finely minced parsley and pressed garlic. Combine the ingredients with a whisk or spoon until smooth.
  • The amount of salt you use will depend on the saltiness of the tamari or coconut aminos you use. Adjust the amount of salt to taste, starting with ¼ teaspoon if you’re not sure.
  • This recipe makes about 1 cup of dressing, depending on how much water you add, and one serving is 2 tablespoons.
