Equipment

  • 1 small bowl

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup tahini
  • ½ tsp. fine sea salt
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced (I recommend using a microplane)
  • 1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
  • 1-2 tbsp. pure maple syrup (start with 1 tbsp. and add more to taste)
  • 2-4 tbsp. cold water (start small and add more to thin)

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a shallow bowl and whisk to combine.
    Note: Start with 1 tablespoon of maple syrup and 2 tablespoons of water. Add additional water to thin or additional maple syrup to taste.

Notes

  • You can use ¼ tsp. garlic powder in place of the fresh garlic. 
  • I find that 1.5-2 tablespoons of water makes the perfect consistency for drizzling over salads and veggies. If it becomes too thin, you can add a little extra tahini. 
  • Store dressing in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. Dressing will thicken in the fridge - whisk in a little bit of cold water to thin.
