Lemon Tahini Dressing

Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup tahini

  • ⅓ cup water

  • 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice - or more to taste

  • 1 small clove garlic, grated or finely minced if not using a blender

  • 2 teaspoons maple syrup or agave

  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt

  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper, optional

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in a bowl or jar and whisk until smooth. Note that the tahini will look curdled when first mixed with liquids. Just keep whisking and it will smooth out. Alternatively, use a blender for a smooth and creamy consistency.

  • Taste the dressing for seasoning, and add another splash of water if needed for consistency.

  • Refrigerate tahini dressing in an airtight container for up to 6 days. Note that the orange and herb variations may not last as long, closer to 4 days.
