Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

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!

Ingredients

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup tahini
2 to 3 tablespoons lemon juice, to taste
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

In a liquid measuring cup or jar, combine the olive oil, tahini, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, mustard, maple syrup, salt, and several twists of black pepper. Whisk until thoroughly blended.
Add the cold water, and whisk again. The dressing should become remarkably creamy. Taste, and add more lemon juice (for zing) and pepper, if desired. If your dressing is too thick to drizzle, whisk in more cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Serve!
This dressing will keep well in the refrigerator, covered, for about 1 week. It may thicken with time; simply thin it with a little more cool water as needed.

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.

HARMONY TAHINI SALAD DRESSING

Harmony Tahini Salad Dressing image

52nd Street, Manhattan, 1981 my train's subway stop was right under the building to my office. Rounding the corner, was a juice/salad bar which had a phenomenal breakfast/lunch following. Needless to say, I was one of their best customers, everyday, twice a day and over and over again I'd eat the same salad dressing on anything and everything...they finally relinquished this secret recipe to me. I'm happy to pass this on to you. It's light and delicious and I hope you will also use it over and over again!
