Getting Ready for Fall Salad

August 16, 2016 by christine

It’s still hot, a couple of days of triple digit heat here this week. But hints of fall are starting to show up, leaves are starting to turn in our front yard and the sign is up for the Spirit Halloween store already. I’m ready, bring on the pumpkin spice everything. I might even experiment with new fall recipes depending on how things go balancing work and marathon training. But after another hot tempo treadmill run, I am really ready for cooler temps. Miko is not so much, he is not a fan of cold weather.

Smokey all for it if it means we’re inside more petting her.

And she can sit by our newest decor addition – the Levoit Elora Himalayan Salt Lamp.

I got this for hubby for our anniversary and I realize the health claims are probably slightly far fetched, but it’s a beautiful, warming lamp that adds a soft glow to the room that will probably be great for fall and winter.

This fun salad dressing is a fall celebration you can enjoy now, it has tangy lemon juice, tahini, and warming rosemary blended with carrot for a vibrant color.

Rosemary Tahini Dressing

  • 2 tbsp. tahini
  • 1 sprig of fresh rosemary
  • 2 tbsp. lemon juice
  • 1 clove raw garlic
  • 1 carrot, chopped
  • ¼ cup water as needed
  • salt and pepper to taste

Place all ingredients into a high speed blender and blend to a smooth and creamy texture. Serve and enjoy! Makes 4 servings.

This dressing was perfect for coating a large meal salad with chickpeas, tomatoes, and sweet peppers.

And great topped with nutritional yeast, isn’t every salad?

The dressing has a cool and creamy texture, but a tangy and warming flavor from garlic and rosemary.

Perfect to enjoy a cooling summer salad while looking forward to fall.

    I’m with Miko, cold weather is no bueno! Love the salad dressing ingredients, I’m a big fan of rosemary.

      True, but fall temps sound nice now after training in triple digit heat!

    I know fall is coming because the pumpkin spice is flowing. =P

      Nice, I love adding pumpkin spice seasoning to smoothies – need to start doing that again.

    Nope, I’m not listening! Summer will last forever! I’m not ready to give it up, even if it does mean some great fall foods are on their way. I’ll just keep this one saved away for later. ;)

    Anything flavored with rosemary is a big win for me! And yes, I’ve noticed that Halloween stuff is flooding the stores. I found my costume at a garage sale this summer. And yes to the pumpkin spice everything!! I’ve looking for a good pumpkin spice pumpkin pie without the crust if you have any ideas for me this fall!!!
