Ingredients

Servings

  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)

Instructions

  1. Give the tahini a stir in its jar if it looks separated. Add the 4 tablespoons tahini to a medium bowl, along with the lemon juice, honey, garlic, cumin, and 1 tablespoon of the water. Whisk together.
  2. Whisk in 1 tablespoon of water at a time until the dressing reaches your desired consistency. I like mine with 3 tablespoons water, but adjust as needed. 
  3. Taste dressing and season it with salt & pepper as needed. Whisk in additional ingredients if using. The smoked paprika gives the dressing a nice, smoky flavor, and the chives provide a burst of freshness. 

Notes

  • Everyone's tastes vary, so if you find the dressing isn't sweet enough, add more sweetener. If you want it more lemony, add more lemon juice. My ingredient quantities are just suggestions.
  • Store any dressing leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for a few days. You may need to add more water to thin it out again.
