Ingredients

  • ¼ cup smooth tahini*
  • 3 tablespoons water plus more if needed
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 small garlic clove grated
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, water, lemon juice, olive oil, maple syrup, sesame oil, garlic, and salt until smooth.
  2. If the dressing is too thick, add more water, ½ tablespoon at a time, until it’s a drizzleable consistency.

Notes

  • *For the best results, use really smooth, runny tahini here, not the dry, stiff stuff that you might find at the bottom of a jar. Tahini's consistency can also vary from brand to brand; my favorites are Soom, Cedar’s, Trader Joe’s, and Seed+Mill.
