Hi guys, I want to introduce you to my favorite salad dressing recipe.

大家好，我想跟大家分享我最喜欢的一款沙拉酱配方。

It’s called everyday tahini.

我称它为每日芝麻酱。

The reason I love tahini is because it’s actually a very heavy dressing, and what that does for a salad?

我喜欢它的原因在于它是一种很浓稠的酱汁，用它来拌沙拉的作用是什么呢?

If you’re someone like me who thinks that salad isn’t a complete meal or it’s not enough food.

如果你像我一样觉得沙拉不是一顿正餐，或者它不够吃。

Using a dressing like this actually makes your salad feel heavier and feel like a more complete meal.

用这种酱汁拌沙拉，能让你的沙拉分量感更足，并且更像一顿正餐。

It is highly densely nutritious and it’s also vegan.

它营养丰富，而且是全素的。

So one of the reasons why I don’t like dairy in my salad dressing is that dairy is very acidic.

我不太喜欢在沙拉酱里放乳制品的原因之一，是因为乳制品是偏酸性的。

I mean something that actually can cause problems with a stomach, and it’s something that’s very hard to digest for most people.

我指的是会对胃造成负担的酸性物质，对大多数人来说是很难消化的。

So, let’s get started.

那么，我们开始吧。

And let me show you exactly what I like to do to make my salads as a complete meal.

我来给大家演示我是如何做一份沙拉，作为我的正餐的。

Alright you’re gonna start with a quarter cup of tea.

先把准备好四分之一杯的茶倒进来。

Now I make this dressing all the time, so I kind of know what a quarter cup looks like, but at home you should measure it in an actual measuring cup.

我现在经常做这个酱汁，所以我知道四分之一杯是多少，但在家的话你可以用量杯来量一下。

So quarter of that.

也就是量杯的四分之一。

We’re gonna do a juice of half a lemon.

然后我们来做果汁，把半个柠檬榨成汁。

The lemon is really important in this Recipe, because the lemon is very acidic and it breaks up how thick the tahini is.

柠檬在这个配方中很重要，因为柠檬非常酸，它可以让芝麻酱不那么粘稠。

The tahini is just sesame seeds ground up, and sesames are very thick.

芝麻酱就是把芝麻碾碎，芝麻碾后变得非常粘稠。

So, you need to add the citrus to be able to break it up.

所以，你需要加入柑橘类来稀释一下。

OK we’re going to do one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, just highly alkaline for the body, really good for your health.

接下来我们要放一勺苹果醋，它对身体有很强的碱性作用，对健康很有好处。

One teaspoon of garlic powder, tastes go perfect.

再加上一茶勺的大蒜粉，增加风味。

I love garlic, pinch of pepper, I like to do two pinches of pepper because I like things a little more spicy,

我超爱大蒜，再加一撮胡椒粉，我会放两撮胡椒粉，因为我喜欢辣一点。

and then this is already measured. This is a quarter cup of water.

这些都量过了，然后再加四分之一水杯的水。

What I like to do is I like to like push through the miso paste and some of the teeny first.

我喜欢的做法是，比如先挤一些味噌酱，放一些颗粒物调料进去。

And you’re whisking until your dressing becomes a consistency that’s nice and smooth.

然后你一直搅拌，直到成为顺滑的糊状。

You can either use a fork or if you really need to, you can use an egg whisk as well because that’ll break up all the little bits.

你可以用叉子或者真的需要的话，也可以用打蛋器，因为它可以把小颗粒打散。

It’s back quick to make your own homemade dressing with no preservatives.

这样的话很快你就可以自制一份不含防腐剂的调味汁。

That you can do very quickly, and you can really add a lot of nutrition to your salad.

你很快就可以做好，同时会让你的沙拉更加营养。

Make it a meal, make it heavier, and make it something that you’re really gonna enjoy for lunch.

让沙拉成为一顿正餐，让它有更强的饱腹感，让你能够更好的享受午餐。
