Vegan Curry Tahini Dressing
This all-purpose curry tahini dressing is made with simple, healthy ingredients and adds SO much flavour to a variety of meals. The recipe is super quick + easy to make and is vegan + gluten-free!

Looking for a delicious sauce or dressing to add a kick of flavour to your meals? This vegan curry tahini dressing is one of my all-time favourites!
This recipe is made with a handful of pantry-staple ingredients and comes together in minutes! You can keep it in your fridge for the week to add to a variety of different dishes – I share some ideas for what to pair it with below if you need some inspiration 🙂
Not only is it delicious and easy to make, but it’s also nutritious! Tahini happens to be a great source of healthy fats, along with a bunch of other nutrients.
As a dietitian, I love having a healthy source of fat to add to my meals. Fat helps our bodies absorb important fat-soluble nutrients from the rest of the dish, while also helping to slow digestion and keep us feeling full!
I’d love to know what you end up pairing this with. Enjoy!
