I have decided to start getting creative in the kitchen with salad dressing recipes. During the summer months I made cucumber and feta salads to go with what we were cooking on the barbecue. I would ordinarily serve this with my standard salad dressing which I always have in the fridge, and elevate the flavours with a bit of fresh mint, straight from the garden. However, in my attempt to change things up a bit with new salad dressings, I decided to make this yoghurt and tahini dressing. Tahini is another ingredient I always have in my pantry as I much prefer to make my own hummus than buy it.
Yoghurt And Tahini Dressing
This salad dressing is quite versatile and it will work perfectly on some boiled potatoes as well. You can spice up this salad dressing by adding cayenne pepper to it. Or make it tangy with the addition of sumac. I like to experiment and once I have a base flavour that I like I work from that.

I love salads and I’m always looking for a healthier way to add dressing. Not only is this healthy but it looks absolutly delicious and this is a guy talking. As you know most guys are thinking steak and potatoes. Like most guys, I’ll pass this on to my wife to make if for me. 🙂
Steak and potatoes will work just as well with this Tom 🙂
I like the sounds of this very much, especially for when the weather warms up. 🙂 The thought of salad in winter makes me shudder. 🙂
somehow soup in winter and salads in summer always seems best 🙂
Yeah, I’m very low key when it comes to dressings. This one though, I would love to try… tahini… so good.
I hope you do try it Ela 🙂
The dressing shows off a lovely colour! I think it will be good for chicken breasts, too! Yum!

Yum,Yum,yummmmmm,…What a fab tasty dressing recipe!
Thank you Sophie 🙂
The cold weather the past few days has had my mind far away from salads and dressings. Hope it doesn’t last long.
Have a happy evening Tandy.
🙂 Mandy xo
Sometimes even in winter I enjoy a good salad! Hope it warms up soon as well though 🙂
This sounds really yummy, and so simple, Tandy. 🙂
Simple is often best AD 🙂
Oh, I just love the sound of this dressing! Must give it a try. xox
Let me know what you think when you do!
Hi Tandy, love this combination, bet this would also be great on a sandwich.
Thanks for the great idea Cheri, I will try that 🙂
It sounds lovely – I love tahini and cumin.
Cumin is a huge favourite with me as well Corina 🙂
I LIKE this salad dressing. In winter I go for soup and in the summer I can’t stay away from salads. I think I could take this dressing for a test drive even in the winter.
Let me know if you do Maureen 🙂
Great idea to put a bit of cumin in it. I love a touch of cumin although too much can be overwhelming 🙂
There is a fine balance between too much and not enough when it comes to cumin, and I don’t always get it right 🙂
Tahini in salad dressing always sounds good to me! Love this!
Me too Joanne 🙂
I love these flavors Tandy. Plus, I’m always looking for new ways to use up my tahini 😀
Hope you enjoy this Cindy 🙂
Yum. This dressing sounds amazing!! I love tahini.
Me too Emily and I should make more use of it 🙂
Maureen – imagine some toast with a smear of this and some good pumpkin and split pea soup. Delish!
Sounds delish for sure!
Just up my alley–i use the very same combination–however i do add a bit of green chili and some toasted sesame seeds for added crunch
That sounds delicious Usha – I will try the sesame seeds for sure 🙂
