Hi there, Ameera here!
So when we created our Vegan Mini Cheeseburger Salad, we knew we had to come up with a fantastic salad dressing to go along with it. This creation gives you a beautiful “condiment” taste with hints of ketchup, mustard, and dill relish, but even better!
We fell in love with enough to give it its own blog post!
You gotta give this one a try!
Tips for Success:
- Flavor Profile: The flavor profile of this dressing is like a cheeseburger without the burger. It has a ‘condiment’ type of essence with hints of ketchup, mustard, and dill relish. This is not a burger sauce topper. It is an actual salad dressing. This sauce is excellent with our Vegan Mini Cheeseburger Salad.
- Taste Testing Salad Dressings: There is an art to arriving at the salad dressing that perfectly suits your tastes. The best way to test salad dressings is to place a few leaves of lettuce (or other greens) in a tiny bowl, put a tiny bit of the salad dressing over top and mix really well, then taste test. Some salad dressings taste amazing before you dress the salad, then once dressing the salad, they fall flat. That is because the salad dressing has to cover all the salad ingredients and it flattens the flavor. Additionally, some salad dressings taste really tangy or overly strong before dressing the salad, but once you dress the salad, it coats all the ingredients and tastes amazing.
Leftovers and Freezing:
Leftovers will generally keep for 4-5 days in the refrigerator. Store in a covered container.
This salad dressing does not freeze well.
Pantry Products Used:
- Yellow Mustard: We used French’s Yellow Mustard. Feel free to use your favorite yellow mustard.
Kitchen Products Used:
- Whisk (or fork)
We certainly hope you give this deliciousness a try.

Would I be able to substitute aquafaba for the tahini? I can’t tolerate that full fat tahini.
Hi there Mallon 🙂
Thank you for your question. The tahini balances the flavor, adds some fat and thickens the dressing. You could try to replace it, but you would have to adjust the other ingredients to compensate for it. We don’t know what that would be since we haven’t kitchen tested it. If you try it and it works out for you, please let us know.
