Creamy Orange Sesame Dressing – no oil

½ cup tart orange juice (or about 4 large ice blocks)

½ cup unhulled sesame seeds

2 tsp miso paste

2 cloves garlic - peeled

½ cup plant based milk (soy milk gives the creamiest result)

1 tbsp ginger juice (or about 1cm of fresh ginger)

1 tsp maple syrup

Add all the ingredients to a blender. Blend until super smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust ingredients to desired taste.

Pour into a bottle or container. Store in the fridge for up to a week.

Notes for this recipe:

If you don't have any sesame seeds, you can substitute tahini, which is ground up sesame seeds. You only need about 2-3 tablespoons of tahini for this recipe. I suggest trying two tablespoons first, then add more if the dressing is too thin.

I buy ginger juice in a pouch from the supermarket. I use it in many things, including as a flavouring for my soda water, so it is a go-to ingredient in my kitchen. If you don't have any ginger juice, then you can use fresh ginger. Be sure to peel it, then slice it thinly across the stem. This breaks up the fibres, which helps to maintain the creaminess of the finished dressing.
