Low-Fat, Tahini-Chickpea Dressing
From Susan Voisin, FatFree Vegan Kitchen
|
|
Susan has asked that her recipes not be reproduced. This recipe can be found at the following link:
I decided that in 2014, I would gradually replace commercially produced bottled salad dressings with delicious, homemade recipes.
I started by making the dressing located at the link above, but haven't been able to progress to my next dressing because I love this one so much. It is a delicious, creamy dressing that is so versatile, you can drizzle it on just about anything, salads, brown rice and lentil dishes, and baked potatoes to name just a few. The possibilities are endless.
There are three added bonuses with this dressing besides its great taste and easy preparation.
The phytonutrient phytic acid (phytate), found in whole grains, beans, greens, nuts, and seeds, partially inhibits mineral absorption, but has a wide range of health promoting properties such as protection against cancer and bone
loss. By concurrently eating mineral absorption enhancers, such as the garlic in this dressing, you not only receive the benefits from the phytates, but also increase the bioavailability of the minerals.
Fat helps to increase the absorption of certain important phytonutrients. The tahini in this dressing is a healthy, whole-food, plant-based source of fat as it is simply crushed sesame seeds.
The lemon juice in this recipe also helps to increase iron absorption from beans and greens. Keep in mind that when you choose non-heme (plant-based) iron, your body can choose not to absorb any if it doesn't need any. Heme (animal-based) iron forces its way in whether we need it or not.
I hope you and your family enjoy this dressing as much as I do!

When it's cold and blustery outside, it's a great time to turn on the fireplace and curl up with a great book. I highly recommend T. Colin Campbell, PhD's latest book Whole: Rethinking the Science of Nutrition. This book follows on the heels of his international best seller, The China Study.
Dr. Campbell is one of the most respected authorities on nutrition in the country. He is the Jacob Gould Schurman Professor Emeritus of Nutritional Biochemistry at Cornell University. He has received more than 70 grant-years of peer-reviewed research funding, and has authored more than 300 research papers.
Whole clearly articulates why the most expensive health care system in the world
is not working and how ineffective paradigms in science, medicine, big pharma, government, media, and charities are preventing plant-based lifestyles from becoming widely adopted and the first-line, gold standard of care when treating chronic, degenerative diseases.
