HOW TO MAKE TAHINI DRESSING
Steps:
- To a medium mixing bowl, add tahini, lemon juice, and maple syrup. If adding salt and garlic, add now (optional).
- Whisk to combine. Then slowly add water until creamy and pourable. The mixture may seize up and thicken at first, but continue adding water a little at a time and whisking until creamy and smooth.
- Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more lemon juice for acidity, salt for saltiness, or maple syrup for sweetness.
- Enjoy fresh, or store leftovers in the refrigerator up to 5 days (sometimes longer). This is delicious on things like Salads, Falafel, Fritters, Buddha Bowls, and more!

ANOTHER TAHINI SALAD DRESSING!
Nearly all my dressings use tahini! This is one that I've modified from "May All Be Fed" by John Robbins. It's fairly thin, but has a mild lemony taste which is great on a garden salad. Plus I've made it lower-fat. So enjoy! (Serving size is 2 Tbsp.)

TAHINI DRESSING
The potent combination of tahini, garlic and lemon that is so beloved throughout the Mediterranean and Middle East also makes a fantastic salad dressing when sweetened with a touch of honey. But no need to stop there - the creamy dressing is also delicious on grilled fish, roast chicken, steamed vegetables, grain bowls and more. There may be a point when you're whisking in the tahini that the sauce seems to seize or thicken. Don't worry - it will smooth out again once you begin to whisk in the water.

TASTEFUL TAHINI SALAD DRESSING
I hate mayo, but I love hummus and tahini. People are always asking for the recipe. The tahini gives it a Middle Eastern feel and the lemon, garlic, and ginger flavors really give it a kick! Easy to make, just needs a blender or a food processor. Experiment by adding a bit more lemon or a bit less garlic, or adding ground mint. Works well on anything, especially on simple salads.
