Apple Cider Butter Dressing

Don’t let the name fool you. There is NO butter in this dressing. Well, no animal butter at least. The butter I am talking about comes from sesame seeds (tahini) and sunflower seeds. But “Apple Cider Sesame Seed and Sunflower Seed Butter Salad Dressing” wasn’t such a catchy title.

There is no need to add any oil when you use these butters. That’s a bonus in my book. This was the first time I’d ever bought tahini and sunflower seed butter, but I’m pleased with the idea and final product.

I think I might also try this as a sauce on my tilapia, as it will mask the fishy taste. I’ll let you know how that turns out. In the mean time, I will enjoy this dressing on my Greek-ish salad.

Apple Cider Butter Dressing

Calories 201 kcal

Ingredients

• ½ c water
• 1/3 c Tahini (sesame seed butter)
• 4 tbsp Raw apple cider vinegar
• 2 tbsp Sunflower seed butter (I used the SunButter brand)
• 2 Garlic cloves
• ½ tsp Sea salt
• ¼ tsp Onion powder

Instructions

1. Put all ingredients, except the sunflower seed butter and the tahini, into a blender and blend until smooth.
2. Add the tahini and then blend. Finally, add the sunflower seed butter and blend until the dressing is well mixed and smooth.
3. Use a spatula to scrape the blender clean as you put the dressing into a container. I use an antique glass oil flask that I picked up at a thrift store and seal it with a cute wine stop. ENJOY!
