Simply put: this is legit one of the most delicious marinades/dressing I've ever tasted!  And so easy!

Ingredients (screenshot for an easy shopping list):

Marinade/Dressing (message @ravitaldar for the original recipe):

  • 3 tbsp tahini (organic, unsalted)
  • 5 tbsp lime Juice
  • 10 tbsp lemonade (fresh, organic)
  • 3 garlic cloves (roughly diced)
  • 1 small bunch of cilantro
  • cumin, salt & pepper (to taste)

Vegetable Suggestions (cut into thick chunks, enough to half-fill one 9" x 12" baking pan) :

  • zucchini
  • squash
  • purple onion
  • tomato
  • sweet potato
  • bell pepper
  • tofu or seitan

Photographic Instructions

Blend all marinade/dressing ingredients in a high-powered blender.

Pour enough of the marinade to coat the vegetables, saving enough for the salad.

Mix the marinade and vegetables thoroughly. If you are adding tofu/seitan, add that too.
Put the pan into the refrigerator, then...

... maybe get on a boat (San Diego to Coronado Ferry) ...

... or ride a bike (Silver Strand bike trail)...
In other words, let the veggies and tofu/seitan marinate for a few hours.

Poke some holes into a high-quality foil, place the veggies on the foil & grill at about 350F until they are at your desired firmness.  Skewer the tofu/seitan and grill it on the upper shelf, until light golden brown.

Serve with a starch, such as tortillas, rice or couscous.

Use the remaining dressing for a salad.  Mine included spinach, Romaine lettuce, purple onion, cherry tomatoes & pepper rings.
