Categories     Dressing     Sauce

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!

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.

Tips:

  • To make the best dressing, use the best quality ingredients you can find. Fresh lemons and limes, and good quality tahini will make a big difference in the flavor of your dressing.
  • If you don't have any tahini, you can substitute a different type of nut or seed butter, such as almond butter or cashew butter. However, the flavor of the dressing will be slightly different.
  • Be sure to whisk the dressing well before using it. This will help to emulsify the ingredients and create a smooth, creamy dressing.
  • Taste the dressing before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to taste.
  • You can use tahini vinaigrette dressing on salads, roasted vegetables, grilled chicken or fish, or as a dipping sauce for appetizers.

Conclusion:

Tahini vinaigrette dressing is a versatile and delicious dressing that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a new dressing to try, give tahini vinaigrette a try. You won't be disappointed!
