This tangy dressing has four simple and wholesome ingredients: sesame tahini, mellow white miso, white balsamic, and lemon.I served this dressing over kale, red onion, tomato and kalamata olives, and it was delightful.It also makes a great dip for raw veggies.Tahini is a paste made from ground sesame seeds. It is known for its thiamin, calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, phosphorus, manganese and protein. Calcium and magnesium may help decrease blood pressure.
