Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Tahini
- 0.25 cup Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 cup Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cumin
Instructions
Peel and mince the garlic clove finely.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the tahini, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and maple syrup. Stir well using a whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Add the minced garlic to the mix and blend it into the tahini mixture thoroughly.
Slowly add the water a few tablespoons at a time, whisking continuously until you achieve the desired creamy consistency for the dressing. You might not need to use the entire 0.5 cup of water if you prefer a thicker dressing.
Season the mixture with ground black pepper and ground cumin. Stir until all ingredients are well combined and the spices are evenly distributed.
Taste the dressing and adjust flavors as necessary, adding more lemon juice for tanginess or maple syrup for sweetness if desired.
Transfer the dressing into a jar or an airtight container for storage. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Stir well before each use, as the ingredients may separate over time.
