Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/3 cup tahini
1 medium lemon, juiced ((1 medium lemon yields ~3 Tbsp or 45 ml))
1-2 Tbsp maple syrup ((or sub agave - or honey if not vegan))
1 pinch sea salt ((optional))
1 clove garlic ((minced // optional))
Water ((to thin // ~3-6 Tbsp or 45-90 ml as original recipe is written))

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



Creamy Tahini Sauce/Salad Dressing image

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.

  • 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.
