Equipment
- 1 Small bowl
- 1 Whisk
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup tahini
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1 small garlic clove minced or grated
- 1 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
- 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1 pinch black pepper freshly ground
- 3 tablespoons water add more for thinner dressing
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, maple syrup, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- If the dressing is too thick, like a dip, gradually whisk in water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired creamy, pourable consistency.
Notes
- Use runny tahini for the smoothest texture. Stir well if it has separated in the jar.
- Adjust consistency by adding more or less water, depending on how thick you like your dressing.
- Make ahead and store in the fridge for up to 1 week. Stir before serving if it thickens.
- Try variations like adding fresh herbs, a pinch of cayenne, or swapping maple syrup with agave.
