Tadka salad dressing

Elevate your salad with the savory flavors of Tadka dressing. This aromatic blend of spices will tantalize your taste buds and transform your meal.

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon black mustard seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon tahini sauce or peanut butter
• 2 teaspoons lime juice
• 1/2 teaspoon mustard
• 1 teaspoon honey
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

1. Place oil in the smallest saucepan available. Heat over medium heat. After 2 minutes, add black mustard seeds. Monitor the oil closely. Once the seeds cease popping, turn off the heat and allow the tadka to cool.
2. Combine remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly. The flavored salad dressing is now prepared. It can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for the following day.
3. My preferred salad elements to enhance this dressing include: a mix of arugula and lettuce, green olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, avocados, pepitas, soaked walnuts, fresh mozzarella, apple or pear slices, and homemade croutons.
4. Please note: If desired, you can substitute mustard seeds with fenugreek seeds, carom seeds, or nigella seeds.
