If you have been trouble finding healthy and delicious dressings at your local shops then make room for this absolutely delicious, tahini curry dressing. It’s super easy, incredibly tasty, and only requires a few ingredients that you may already have in your kitchen.
I could never find tasty dressings at the shops that were also nutritious and not filled with unnecessary ingredients. And finding tasty vegan options is even harder. One day I just stopped trying and began making my own. Best decision lol. I just don’t know why I waited so long!
The dressings and sauces you can make at home with whole food ingredients are only limited by your creativity and taste preferences. And when you make your own you know exactly what is going into them, which can’t really be said for a lot of prepared dressings.
This Tahini Curry Dressing is one of my favourites. It has now become an absolute staple in the house that I make on the regular. I could eat it daily very happily. Best of all it’s really quick to come together (no fancy equipment needed), keeps well in the fridge, and is tastier than any ready made dressing I have tried. Plus, for the kitchen witch in you, this is an opportunity to weave magic into your meals. This Tahini Curry Dressing is full of energetic properties for wealth and protection, among others!
So let’s get to it, and get ready to make room for a new family favourite.

Everyday Practical Magic
I say this in all of my recipe posts but it’s true! Food is magick. And weaving magick into our normal activities, such as meal times, is a powerful way to connect with our craft on a daily basis.
Kitchen witchery is a practical and beautiful form of everyday magic that often gets overlooked, even by witches who practice regularly. I always encourage people to dive in and give it a try even if you don’t fancy yourself a cook or domestic in any way.
This dressing is a simple way to practice a bit of kitchen witchery and set intentions to bring forth wealth, protection, and more, in so many ways.
Curry Tahini Dressing: Main Magickal Properties
Sesame (tahini) – fertility, wealth, protection
Lemon – longevity, clarity, spirituality, happiness
Coconut – good luck, protection, purification
Turmeric – strength, energy, protection
Garlic – purification, protection, health, wards negativity
Cumin – good luck, prosperity, protection, happiness
Black Pepper – protection, strength, courage, purification
Maple Syrup – wealth, love, joy, prosperity
While preparing your dressing, focus on the intention of having wealth and prosperity, in your life (or whichever properties you wish to focus on). How do you want this to feel? What goals do you want to accomplish? Visualize how your life will look once you reach these milestones.
Stir clockwise while whisking, and perhaps even light a green candle or burn cinnamon or basil incense for extra added energies.
Curry Tahini Dressing Recipe
Makes about 3/4 cup – Total Prep Time: 10 minutes
- 1/3 cup tahini
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1 tbsp coconut aminos or soy sauce
- 3 tbsp water
- 2 tsp maple syrup (3 if you like a little sweeter taste)
- 1 tsp curry powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp cumin
- 1/4 tsp turmeric
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Black pepper to taste
Preparation
- Add all wet ingredients into a bowl and whisk together.
- Now add all dry ingredients and whisk well.
- Add in more water if you desire a thinner consistency. If you wish to make a dip as opposed to a dressing start with just 1 tbsp of water and then add more until you reach your desired consistency.
- Can be stored in the fridge covered fir 5 – 7 days.
Feel free to also play with the amounts of spices you use. This is what I love but you make like it slightly more garlicky or what not.

As I was reading I thought on a fruit salad yes, maybe change the amount garlic.
Krystle
Lol, after seeing the comments I am going to have to change that line saying it wouldn’t be good on fruit salad. Good on everything, end of discussion haha. Thank you so much for stopping by the blog!

Yummy! I chuckled at the comment ‘maybe not on fruit salad’ because as I was reading the recipe I immediately wanted to use this on my favorite salad – my take on Waldorf salad – which includes broccoli, apple, walnuts (or pecans) and craisins (or raisins or chopped mixed dried fruit), and either vegan cheese shreds or goat cheese crumbles (cow milk allergy). I am not yet vegan, but getting closer all the time, and instead of “meatless Monday” it’s more like one day a week I will have chicken or seafood, maybe red meat once a month. Still trying to balance the need for adequate protein (I’m a senior, and the doctor worries), and a lifetime habit of meat that is hard to break, with my emerging awareness of the unsustainability and cruelty of the commercial meat industry. Thankfully I have spent enough of my life poor (and grew up in the Hippie era – groovy! LOL) that I appreciate beans, legumes, and plants of all sorts. Getting there!

Yes, it would be delicious on a Waldorf salad! I meant full on breakfast type fruit salad but it may even be good there lol. For sure! We all do what works for us and cutting back on animal products really makes such a difference in so many ways, for the animals, the environment, and our health. Thank you so much for reading and if you give the dressing a try I hope you love it! Many blessings to you <3
