Lemon Tahini Dressing
Description
Lemon Tahini Dressing is made by whisking tahini with water, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, and maple syrup or honey, then seasoning with salt and black pepper. The water adjusts the thickness to create a dressing that coats greens or vegetables effectively without being too thick. The garlic adds a savory depth, while lemon juice brightens the flavor and the sweetener rounds out acidity.
The dressing’s consistency can be thinned further by adding more water if desired. It stores well in the refrigerator for up to a week when kept sealed.
This dressing pairs well with salads, roasted vegetables, grain bowls, or as a dip. Its balance of creamy tahini and lemon makes it a versatile complement to various dishes.
