Ingredients

  • ¼ cup Tahini well-stirred
  • 1 ½ tablespoons agave nectar (See Note)
  • 1 ½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove grated on zester/microplane
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
  • 4 to 6 tablespoons cold water

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine the tahini, agave nectar, lemon juice, garlic and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk well to combine.
  2. Add water a tablespoon at a time, whisking after each addition, until desired consistency is achieved.
  3. The dressing thickens as it rests, particularly when stored in the refrigerator. Add a little water and re-whisk to loosen it up to the desired consistency.

  • Note: If you don’t have agave nectar, use maple syrup or honey instead. Honey is not considered vegan, so avoid that option if you’re following a vegan diet.
