Description

A creamy and versatile tahini dressing perfect for salads, roasted vegetables, grain bowls, and more. This quick and easy recipe combines smooth tahini with fresh lemon juice, garlic, and a touch of sweetness, creating a flavorful dressing that enhances a variety of dishes.


Ingredients

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup smooth tahini
  • 3 tablespoons water, plus more if needed
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 small garlic clove, grated
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt


Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, water, lemon juice, olive oil, maple syrup, toasted sesame oil, grated garlic, and sea salt until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  2. Adjust Consistency: If the dressing is thicker than desired, gradually add more water, ½ tablespoon at a time, whisking after each addition until you achieve a drizzleable consistency perfect for dressing salads or drizzling over other dishes.

Notes

  • If the tahini is too thick or the dressing separates, adding water helps to smooth it out and makes it easier to pour.
  • Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor.
  • Store any leftover dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • This dressing is perfect for boosting flavor on roasted vegetables, grain bowls, and more besides salads.
