Tahini Lemon Dressing

This recipe is bright and refreshing, nutty and creamy. It's perfect for the not-yet-hot springtime, when you want to have a fresh salad that is also hearty and grounding. Try it with fresh greens, toasted seeds or nuts (I like a mixture of pumpkin and sunflower), chèvre, and sliced apple or strawberries.

Optional additions: I love adding fresh or dried dill to this recipe. Feel free to experiment with different herbs and find the ones you like! Also delicious as-is.
