Creamy Spinach and Tahini Dressing

Creamy Spinach and Tahini Dressing is a simple, yet flavorful dressing that can be used on salads, as a dip, or as a spread. It's made with fresh spinach, tahini, nutritional yeast, garlic, olive oil, lime juice, and water. The dressing is blended until smooth and seasoned with salt and pepper to taste.

I first came across this recipe when I was looking for a healthy and delicious way to use up some fresh spinach. I had never used tahini before, but I was intrigued by its nutty flavor. I decided to give this recipe a try, and I was not disappointed. The dressing was creamy, flavorful, and versatile. I've been using it ever since on everything from salads to wraps and sandwiches.
