Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons white miso paste
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 clove garlic clove, minced
- 4 tablespoons warm water
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon scallions (optional, finely chopped for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the tahini, white miso paste, lemon juice, maple syrup, soy sauce (or tamari), and minced garlic.
Using a whisk or fork, mix the ingredients together until a thick paste forms.
Gradually add the warm water, one tablespoon at a time, whisking well after each addition. Continue until the dip reaches your desired consistency (smooth and slightly pourable).
Taste the dip and adjust seasoning, if necessary. You can add a bit more lemon juice for acidity, maple syrup for sweetness, or soy sauce for saltiness.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped scallions, if desired.
Serve immediately with fresh vegetables, crackers, or bread, or refrigerate for up to 3 days in an airtight container. Stir well before serving if refrigerated.
