Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons low-fat plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 unit garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the tahini and low-fat plain yogurt. Stir until smooth and well combined.
Add the lemon juice and water to the tahini mixture. Whisk until the mixture is creamy and the consistency is pourable. If it seems too thick, add a little more water, a teaspoon at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved.
Add the minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped dill, and honey to the tahini mixture. Stir well to incorporate all the ingredients evenly.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, stirring once again to mix.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning, if necessary. For more acidity, add a bit more lemon juice.
Transfer the lemon herb tahini dressing to a serving container or jar.
Serve immediately as a dressing for salads, grain bowls, or as a dip for vegetables. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
