A balmy summer evening, the sun slowly sinks towards the horizon, and the air is filled with cheerful laughter and the tantalizing aroma of the barbecue fire. Family and friends are gathered, the table is lovingly set, and a colorful, crisp salad is waiting to be served. But which dressing will perfectly round it all off?
How about a creamy lemon tahini dressing that perfectly captures the flavors of summer? The subtle nuttiness of the tahini blends beautifully with the tangy freshness of the lemon, adding a special touch to any salad. It's wonderfully creamy, yet light and refreshing—just the thing for warm days.
Tahini, a paste made from finely ground sesame seeds, is particularly well-known in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine. It's widely used in countries like Lebanon, Turkey, and Greece – often as a base for hummus or dips. It really shines in this dressing.
The best part? It's incredibly quick to prepare and requires only a few ingredients. A few drops of lemon juice, some tahini, a little garlic, a pinch of salt and pepper, and a little water create a dressing that's perfect not only for salads, but also for grilled vegetables or bowls. Try it and give your summer dish that special something!

Citrus fruits are particularly recommended during the follicular phase. They are rich in vitamin C and promote iron absorption. It's especially important to replenish your iron intake after menstruation and the associated blood loss!
Sesame is rich in iron, making it a perfect complement to lemon during the follicular phase! Sesame also stands out for its high fiber and antioxidant content, making it a good choice during the follicular phase! Furthermore, Sesame is also a great choice for getting enough calcium during the luteal phase.
