One Tahini Dressing… Three Easy Meals
It sounds basic but honestly, making a few sauces or dressings to keep in the fridge for the week is an absolute lifesaver when it comes to making restaurant quality meals in a flash.
When I’m asked how I have the willpower to not eat junk, my answer is simply that I eat really delicious food (and enough of it) so I rarely feel the need.
With one sauce you can take a few standard meal items and make an amazing meal. Elevate toast (from pre-frozen bread) with a paleo beetroot cauliflower hummus. Transform steamed greens and canned tuna with a homemade hempseed pesto. Take roasted vegetables to a new level with a creamy tahini dressing with just two basic ingredients.

ZUCCHINI NOODLE + SMOKED SALMON SALAD
