Ground sesame paste, or tahini, has long been a staple of Middle Eastern cooking. As versatile as peanut butter and just as tasty, tahini has become a mandatory component of the vegan cook's pantry, as well. It is a good source of calcium; B vitamins and thiamin; and essential minerals, including calcium. Additionally, it's a great source of the protein and fatty acids that are easy to neglect in a vegan diet.

This simple dressing uses tahini as its base and is as versatile as it is delicious.
