Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cup Tahini
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 clove Garlic clove (minced or grated)
- 1 teaspoon Maple syrup or honey
- 3 tablespoons Water (adjust for desired consistency)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground black pepper (optional)
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, and olive oil until smooth and creamy.
Add the minced garlic, maple syrup (or honey), salt, and pepper (if using). Whisk to combine.
Gradually add the water, one tablespoon at a time, whisking constantly to reach your desired consistency. For a thicker dressing, use less water; for a thinner, more pourable dressing, use more water.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more lemon juice for tanginess, maple syrup for sweetness, or salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container if not using immediately. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Shake or stir before using, as the dressing may thicken slightly when chilled.
