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!

CREAMY TAHINI SAUCE/SALAD DRESSING
This is a nice and rich tahini-based salad dressing that goes great with romaine and butter lettuces, and also makes a nice garnish for falafels, veggie burgers, chickpea salads, and tons of other great vegetarian and/or Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes. Serve with pita breads as a snack or appetizer. I used packaged tahini paste that I bought from a gourmet foods store that happened to be really good, but you can probably make your own too. NOTE: the lemon juice amounts shown are correct! It is 1/4 liquid cup plus an extra tablespoon. Also, you can add 1/4 tsp sugar if you find it too rough.

Tips:
- To make a smooth and creamy tahini dressing, use a high-powered blender or food processor.
- If you don't have a blender or food processor, you can whisk the dressing by hand until it is smooth.
- Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor. If you only have bottled lemon juice, add a little bit of sugar to balance out the acidity.
- Add a little bit of water to the dressing if it is too thick. You can also add more tahini if you want a richer flavor.
- Season the dressing to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve the dressing immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Tahini dressing is a great way to add flavor and creaminess to salads, roasted vegetables, and grilled meats.
Conclusion:
Tahini dressing is a versatile and delicious condiment that can be used to add flavor and creaminess to a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a new dressing to try, give tahini dressing a try. You won't be disappointed!
