Hello & Happy October!

I love everything fall-food-related… give me all the roasted root veggies, pumpkin-flavored everything, warm spices, and cozy soups & pastas.

I also love making fall-inspired salads. So much tastebud magic can happen when we combine flavors/foods like roasted veggies, maple, roasted pecans, apples, and pears!

Today I’m sharing three of my favorite fall salads, using my favorite maple tahini dressing!

This is my go-to fall dressing for a variety of salads/bowls… featuring tahini, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, dijon mustard, and the usual add-ins (salt/pepper/etc.). It is nice and creamy, and can function as a dip or a dressing!

The dressing is incredibly easy to make — I usually add everything to my Vitamix and simply give it a blend! I also usually make the dressing x3 so it will last for a good week or so!
