Maple Tahini Salad Dressing

Sharing is caring!

This Maple Tahini Salad Dressing is an essential ingredient in my Brussels Sprout and Kale Salad inspired by Blue Door Farm Stand in Chicago.

Maple Tahini Salad Dressing happens to be vegan, gluten free, and easy to make. You can prepare this dressing in just 5 minutes - you just need to measure and mix. I love it's blend of sweet, savory, and citrus flavors.

The inspiration for this salad dressing is the Brussels Sprout and Kale Salad at Blue Door Farm Stand. It's one of my all-time favorite salads, and before I learned to make it myself I was paying $21 to have to delivered to my house about once a month.

I added less than a clove of garlic, I was conservative because I didn't want to taste of garlic to overwhelm the other flavors. I added a generous amount of salt to create a contrast of sweet and salty flavors. You won't want the sweetness of the maple syrup to overwhelm the other ingredients.

Tahini is something that you can buy at most grocery stores, but you might need to ask where to find it. At Whole Foods it is kept with the peanut butter, while other grocery stores might put it near the olive oil or in the international foods section. It can be a little pricy, but usually it won't expire for 2+ years.

While created this dressing recipe to recreate the Brussels Sprout and Kale Salad from Blue Door Farm Stand, it can be used on other salads made with kale and/or brussels sprouts.

Tomorrow I will be sharing the salad recipe - it has a cult following in Chicago. It's just that good.

Thanks for posting! This past weekend, I had the maple tahini dressing at Blue Door Kitchen and wow - amazing! I made your recipe this afternoon. I followed your exact recipe. A few comments - I’m missing the sweetness of the maple syrup. It’s more tahini flavored than anything. It’s also incredibly thick, even after added a few more tablespoons of water. I hate to divert to much from your recipe but I need to make some adjustments. Any suggestions? Thanks Laurey
