How To Make Lemon Tahini Dressing

With zesty lemon and creamy tahini, this lemon tahini dressing is the perfect recipe to enjoy as a dip or salad dressing. I've got a secret trick for infusing the lemon juice with garlic while keeping the sauce silky smooth (no garlic clumps!) Ready in 15 minutes and great as a dip or dressing.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup lemon juice from fresh lemons, 60 mL
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ cup Tahini 120 g
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ to ½ cup cold water can use more until you reach a consistency to your liking, 60 to 120 mL

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Marinate: Stir together ¼ cup lemon juice and 2 cloves garlic (minced). Let sit for 10 minutes to allow garlic flavor to diffuse into the lemon juice. Use a mesh sieve to strain out garlic pulp, keeping the lemon juice.
  2. Mix: In a medium bowl, whisk together the garlicky lemon juice, ½ cup tahini, 2 tsp Dijon mustard, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ to ½ cup cold water (adding more as needed until it reaches a smooth consistency).

Notes

  • Storage: This dressing will last for up to 1 week in the fridge in an air-tight container.
