A creamy, dairy-free dressing infused with turmeric to use on hearty greens, salad bowls, burgers and even as a dip for veggies!
Remember last week when I said I was sort-of-kind-of declaring May the unofficial month of Turmeric? Wasn’t kidding.
I am always looking for new ways to get more turmeric in our diets and I spied a Turmeric Tahini Dressing on Bon Appetit last year. I started making it and kept tweaking the spices and ratios until I got it just right.
This version is so creamy, so completely dairy free and so ridiculously easy — it literally takes less than five minutes to make a batch. I use it on everything from hearty cooked greens, salad bowls, baked potatoes, steamed broccoli, on burgers and even as a dip for veggies!
Later this week I am going to share a Mediterranean Chicken Bowl that features this dressing. I am telling you the uses are endless.
One quick tip about spiciness. If you want this to be kid-friendly and on the mild side, make it as written. If you want to kick up the spice a bit, use 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper and substitute smoked paprika for the regular paprika.

I love this recipe. After scouring the internet for the perfect spicy turmeric tahini dressing I realized that THIS IS IT!!! So amazing on Mediterranean salads!
Wow – thank you so much Crystal!!! I really appreciate your comment and rating – so happy you love this dressing!
I’m not much for the flavor of Turmeric and was wondering is the flavor stong?
I would like to try this dressing and need to know how I should adjust the seasonings.
Hi Maryjane – the dressing does have a prominent turmeric taste. I suggest cutting the turmeric in half and doubling the paprika. You may also want to add one small crushed clove of garlic. Then taste and adjust the seasonings from there!
This looks delicious. I love making a bunch of dressings/sauces on Sunday and then cooking simple meat and veggies during the week. Easy to mix and match and still have tasty meals, without a ton of weeknight fuss. Will for sure be trying this one this week!
Same here Beth! Hope you love it – come back and let me know 🙂
Love the sound of this one, Alyssa! I’m making a batch for our barbecue this weekend. Happy Friday! xx
Hope you loved it and had a great BBQ Hannah!! xo
