- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup or honey
- 1 clove Garlic clove (minced)

- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, add the tahini, fresh lime juice, olive oil, and water.

Add the maple syrup or honey, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Whisk again until all the ingredients are fully incorporated and the dressing is silky and smooth.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more lime juice for extra tang, maple syrup for sweetness, or salt for more flavor.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container for storage. It can be refrigerated for up to 1 week.
Shake or stir before serving as the dressing may thicken slightly when chilled.
