With summer right around the corner, winemaker Thérèse Martin shares a great dressing recipe that you can use on fresh salads or as a dip with veggies from the garden. The ginger adds a nice kick to the recipe not to mention its health benefits. Thérèse suggests adding tahini for a nutty flavor which comes from the sesame seeds.

Tahini Ginger dressing:

• ½ cup raw cashews

• ¼ cup or more of water( depends on how thick or thin you want it.

• ¼ cup carrot chopped

• ½ tahini

• 1tsp rice vinegar

• 1tsp coconut aminos

• 2-3 tbsp of chopped ginger ( customize to your flavor profile)

• 1tsp Maple syrup or honey

• ¼ cup fresh lemon or lime juice

• 2 tbsp sesame oil

• 1 tsp sriracha sauce

DIRECTIONS:

Soak cashews in water for at least 2-3 hours to soften. I generally just put them in a jar in the refrigerator overnight. Put everything in a high powered blender and blend until smooth. Add water to thin or leave thick for a dip.

Yummy!
