This is gorgeous Middle Eastern style dressing – creamy, tangy and moreish.  Drizzle it over a salad or grilled/roast fish or chicken.   If you want you can use a little less water or kefir to make this thicker and use as a dip.

1 rounded tbs light tahini (raw brand if possible, e.g. Carly’s)
1-2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tbs lemon juice + 125ml cold water OR (instead of lemon + water) 150ml home made kefir
5 tbs extra virgin olive oil
Generous pinch Himalayan/sea salt
Flavour + health boosters: 1/2 tsp ground spice: sweet paprika, cumin or coriander.

In a mini food processor blend all the ingredients till blended. If you are doing this by hand get a decent size bowl, add the garlic and tahini and mix in just 1/4 of the liquid at a time. You are aiming for a consistency about the texture of double cream. You may need to add more water as you go to achieve this. The tahini will clump initially.  Just keep mixing, and adding more liquid if needed.

Why this is good for you:
Garlic and lemon are fantastic supporters of detoxification, a critical function for all aspects of your health.  Extra virgin olive oil keeps you fuller longer and aids weight loss (yes that IS correct) and is also rich in gut-helping immune-regulating vitamin E and polyphenols.  Kefir is tolerated by most dairy-sensitive people because its a pre-digested food.  The friendly bugs that manufacture kefir from milk break down the dairy sugar (lactose) and dairy protein (casein) that are the main trigger for dairy sensitivity reactions.   Tahini, if its raw, is a good source of healthy omega 6 oils.  Omega 6 is found in all raw nuts/seeds.
