Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 4 tablespoons water
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine tahini, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Whisk together until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add olive oil to the tahini mixture while whisking continuously to emulsify the dressing and achieve a creamy texture.
Stir in the maple syrup and minced garlic, mixing until the garlic is evenly distributed throughout the dressing.
Add water gradually, one tablespoon at a time, whisking between each addition until you reach the desired consistency. The dressing should be pourable but still thick enough to coat a spoon.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning as necessary to suit your preference.
Store the dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake or stir well before each use as separation may occur.
