This tastes similar to the brand, "Annie's Natural Goddess Dressing." The recipe can be adjusted to your own taste preferences. It's also great for chicken and just about anything else you can dip into it. Try it as a sandwich spread. NOTE: I use Shoyu (soy sauce). It has a complex flavor without a metallic, salty taste.

SERVES 6 , 2 cups (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 tablespoons plain sesame oil or olive oil
1/4 cup toasted sesame oil (Not plain sesame oil)
1/2 cup tahini
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/4 cup water
5 small green onions (white and green parts)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon shoyu (soy sauce)
plus 1 teaspoon shoyu (soy sauce)
3 fresh garlic cloves
2 teaspoons sesame seeds (toast them first if desired)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

1
Combine everything in a blender, immersion blender, or food processor.
2
Taste, (dip a leaf or cracker) to adjust flavors. If too thick add water, a tablespoon at a time, until it's the consistency you prefer.
3
Add a teaspoon more vinegar or soy for a stronger flavor.
4
A teaspoon more toasted sesame oil will add a "richer" flavor.
5
Store in the fridge in a jar with a tight fitting lid.

It was good. But - I did not have the exact ingredients to replicate. I used 1/2c olive oil, 1/2c tahani, 1/4c apple cider vinegar, 1/2c water, 5 scallions, 1T lime juice, 4 garlic cloves, 3T 'chinese marinade', 1/2 T tamari, 2t black sesame powder, 1/2t salt, 1/2t pepper, a few T nutritional yeast powder. It is a bit too sesame-y, and a bit too garlicy. I will reduce both next time and increase vinegar and nutritional yeast powder.

With a bottle of store bought Annie's Goddess Dressing by my side in the kitchen as reference, I mixed and adjusted this copycat recipe until I got it just right. My husband and I both agreed that this dressing is better than the original. You can thin it down with water if you like a more pourable salad dressing or keep thicker and use as a dip for vegetables and chips. I added one heaping tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley. (Parsley is one of the ingredients in original Annie's that is missing from this recipe.) I also made two versions: one using the two different sesame oils above and the next batch using olive oil. I use the best quality oils I can find. If you want to tone down the pronounced sesame taste a few notches use olive oil. However, we liked both versions equally. The salad dressing is best made several hours in advance to allow the ingredients to work their magic. One more thing, I was out of my homemade tahini so I used an organic brand made by the Maranatha Natural Foods' Company in Oregon. It is a roasted tahini which eliminated the need to toast the sesame seeds as indicated in the recipe. You've made friends of mine and coworkers of husband's very happy to have found this jewel of a recipe. Thank you for sharing it with 'Zaar.

Like another poster, I did find this recipe to have a little to much onion-bite. I am usually an onion lover, so that was a surprise, but I think that I will probably try the recipe again and only use 3 green onions, only using the light green and dark green parts.
