Vegan Honey Mustard Ingredients

- Tahini: Made from ground sesame seeds, tahini adds creaminess and a subtle nutty flavor while providing healthy fats and plant-based protein.
- Turmeric: This golden spice not only adds color but also has anti-inflammatory benefits, so this dressing is a healthy choice for you. To activate the curcumin anti-inflammatory benefits, add a pinch of black pepper.

Recipe FAQs
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Shake or stir well before each use, as separation may occur. Freezing is not recommended.
Yes! While homemade date syrup keeps this recipe compliant with the Daniel Fast and has natural sweetness, you can use maple syrup if you’re not on the Daniel Fast. But for the whole food option, date syrup is best.
If you don’t have tahini, you can use almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter. These will still give you a creamy texture, but the flavor will be slightly different.
Yes! The mild sweetness from the date syrup and creamy texture make it kid-friendly. If your child prefers a sweeter flavor, you can add a bit more date syrup. Your kids will love this dressing with sliced apples!
Dijon mustard gives this dressing its tangy and slightly spicy flavor, but you can use yellow mustard if you don’t have Dijon. Keep in mind yellow mustard will make the flavor milder and less tangy.
Yes! This dressing makes a great marinade for veggies like cauliflower, tofu, or tempeh. Just coat your ingredients evenly and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
