Tadka is a foundation technique of Indian cooking, wherein you temper spices in oil. Using this infused oil instead of just plain oil is another way of injecting flavor into a salad dressing. Tadka can be made with a variety of spices, expanding the possibilities for flavoring a vinaigrette.

01 Information

Grade easy
Serving 2 servings
Prep Time 5 Mins
Cook Time 5 Mins
Total Time 10 Mins

02 Ingredients

- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp. honey
- 2 tsp. lime juice
- 1/2 tsp. tahini sauce
- 1/2 tsp. black mustard seeds
- 2 tbsp. olive oil

03 Method

Step 1

Pour oil in the smallest pot you have. Turn the heat to medium. After 2 minutes, add black mustard seeds. Keep an eye on the oil. Once the seeds stop popping, turn the heat off and let the tadka cool down.
Step 2

Add rest of the ingredients and whisk well. The tadka salad dressing is ready. You can make it a day in advance, too, and refrigerate and carry to work the next day.
Step 3

My ideal salad components which complement this dressing are: greens divided into arugula and lettuce, green olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, avocados, pepitas, soaked walnuts, fresh mozzarella, apple or pear, and homemade croutons.
Step 4

Note: You can replace mustard seeds with cumin seeds, fenugreek seeds, carom seeds, or nigella seeds.
