In a medium-sized bowl, combine the tahini, lemon juice, and olive oil. Whisk together until well mixed. The mixture may thicken initially, but this is normal.
Add the maple syrup (or honey), minced garlic, salt, and ground black pepper to the bowl. If using paprika or cayenne pepper for a bit of spice, add it now as well.
Slowly whisk in 2 tablespoons of water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dressing reaches your desired consistency. For a thinner dressing, add more water in small increments.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add more lemon juice for extra tang, a pinch of salt for heightened flavor, or a bit more maple syrup for sweetness.
Transfer the finished dressing to a jar or airtight container. Use immediately or refrigerate for up to 5 days, stirring or shaking well before each use.
