The Best Tahini Dressing

• servings: 1 cup
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

1/4 cup (60ml) well-stirred tahini, try homemade tahini

1 small garlic clove, grated or finely minced

3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon maple syrup

1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

3 tablespoons cold water, more if needed

Directions

Whisk everything but the water in a small bowl. Don’t worry if the mixture seems clumpy at first. The dressing will relax once you whisk it in the water, making it creamy.

Add three tablespoons of cold water, and then whisk until creamy. For a thinner consistency, add a little more water.

Season to taste with additional lemon juice or salt.
