• A few more ideas from Heidi:.
• Gently heat the dressing and toss with spinach, for a warm, slightly wilted dinner salad.
• Use the vinaigrette as a marinade.
• Use it to toss with pasta (stuffed cheese filled pasta is an especially good choice).

SUNSHINE DRESSING

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together the tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, ginger, turmeric, garlic powder and salt and pepper.
• Add 2-3 tablespoons of warm water to thin out the dressing so that it's nice and pourable. Taste and add more salt and pepper if necessary.

SUNSHINE PASTA SALAD

Steps:

• For the sunshine dressing: Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper to a medium bowl and whisk until combined.
• For the salad: Cook the pasta in salted water according to package instructions. Drain and rinse the pasta under cold water. Allow the pasta to dry slightly before assembling; this will help the dressing really adhere to the pasta.
• Pour the dressing over the pasta in a large bowl and toss to coat. Add the yellow and grape tomatoes, corn, bell peppers and banana peppers and toss gently until evenly mixed. Arrange the salad onto a serving platter and garnish with the lemon slices.
