Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Tahini
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (low sodium or no-salt-added)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Maple syrup
- 1 clove Garlic (finely minced or grated)
- 2 tablespoons Water (to thin as needed)
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for additional flavor)
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the tahini, low-sodium Dijon mustard, and fresh lemon juice. Use a whisk or fork to blend the ingredients until smooth.
Add the maple syrup, minced garlic, ground black pepper, and paprika (if using). Mix until fully combined.
Gradually add water, one tablespoon at a time, whisking as you go. Adjust the amount of water depending on your desired consistency. For a thicker dressing, use less water; for a thinner dressing, add more water one teaspoon at a time.
Taste the dressing and adjust as needed. If you prefer a bit more tang, add a small splash of lemon juice. For added sweetness, include an extra drop of maple syrup.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Shake or stir the dressing before serving. Drizzle over salads, roasted veggies, or grain bowls. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
