This is a thick, creamy dressing with a strong flavor. Only a small amount needs to be used on salad to boost its flavor. By doubling the amount of tahini and nutritional yeast, it can also serve as a dip for Garlic Oregano Yam Oven Fries, or drizzled over a burger.

As with all recipes containing nutritional yeast, it is high in B vitamins. With the ginger, it also helps reduce inflammation and aids in digestion, making it especially good to have with cooked food.

A sweet dressing with a bit of a bite, this one is particularly good on burgers. If you like, papaya can be substituted for the mango.
