Creamy Vegan Buddha Bowl Dressing

The dressing uses tahini as a base, which provides a rich, nutty flavor. Freshly squeezed lemon juice brightens the flavor with citrus acidity, balanced by maple syrup for sweetness and sesame oil for depth. Salt enhances overall taste. Blending the ingredients until smooth creates a creamy texture, while added water adjusts thickness to desired levels.

This sauce is versatile and easy to make, typically served on Buddha bowls, salads, or as a dip for vegan wraps and fritters. Its balance of tang, sweetness, and savory notes adds interest without overpowering other ingredients.

Cook's tips include storing the dressing in an airtight container in the fridge for up to seven days. The thickness varies with tahini paste brand and amount of water added. Substituting lime juice for lemon or olive oil for sesame oil provides variation. The recipe also suggests other vegan dressings to explore.
