Notes

  • Cook's Tips
  • Recipe Variations
  • This tahini dressing can be stored in an airtight jar in the fridge for about 7 days.
  • Depending on how thick your tahini paste is, you will need different amount of water to adjust the consistency. Start with 1 tablespoon and keep adding water until you like the consistency.
  • Use it for my Ultimate Vegan Buddha Bowl for maximum taste or dip vegan wraps,  vegan German potato pancakes or zucchini corn fritters in it. Use it as a salad dressing, for example for vegan couscous salad or vegan coleslaw.
  • Make sure to try my vegan mayo, roasted garlic sauce, vegan bechamel, mojo verde, vegan buffalo sauce, vegan blue cheese dressing, and avocado dressing to mix things up!
  • See how to use the dressing in my buddha bowl dressing story.
  • You can use any other sweetener of your choice instead of maple syrup: agave juice, honey or molasses.
  • You can use lime juice in place of lemon juice for this tahini dressing. It'll taste just as good.
  • Olive oil can be substituted for sesame oil.
