Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 4 tablespoons unsweetened plain vegan yogurt (protein-rich, such as soy or almond yogurt)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
- 2 tablespoons water (adjust for desired consistency)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the tahini and vegan yogurt. Whisk together until smooth and well-integrated.
Add the Dijon mustard, maple syrup, and freshly squeezed lemon juice to the bowl. Stir thoroughly to combine.
Sprinkle in the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Gradually add water, one tablespoon at a time, whisking after each addition until the dressing reaches your desired consistency. For a thicker dressing, use less water; for a thinner drizzle, add more.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if needed, adding a pinch more salt, lemon juice, or maple syrup to balance flavors.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container for storage. It can be refrigerated for up to one week. Shake or stir before each use.
