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!

TASTEFUL TAHINI SALAD DRESSING



Tasteful Tahini Salad Dressing image

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.

TAHINI DRESSING



Tahini Dressing image

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.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 5m

Yield about 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon honey
1 clove garlic, mashed into a paste
1/2 cup well-stirred tahini
1/4 to 1/3 cup cold water
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
Pinch ground cayenne pepper
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Whisk together the lemon juice, honey and garlic paste in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in the tahini. Whisk in the water a little at a time until the sauce is smooth, creamy and has the consistency of cold heavy cream. Whisk in the cumin, cayenne and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Taste add more salt if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality tahini: Look for a smooth, creamy tahini made from 100% hulled sesame seeds. Avoid brands that contain additives or fillers.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your dressing will taste. Try to use organic vegetables and herbs whenever possible.
  • Adjust the flavors to your liking: The recipes in this article are just starting points. Feel free to adjust the flavors to your liking by adding more or less lemon juice, garlic, or spices.
  • Experiment with different types of vinegar: You can use any type of vinegar in these recipes, but I recommend using a light-tasting vinegar, such as white wine vinegar or rice vinegar. If you want a more robust flavor, you can use a red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
  • Store the dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days: Shake the dressing well before using.

Conclusion:

Tahini dressings are a delicious and versatile way to add flavor and nutrients to your favorite dishes. They're easy to make and can be tailored to your liking. With so many different flavor combinations to choose from, you're sure to find a tahini dressing that you love.
