Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • ½ cup Tahini (Creamy paste made from ground sesame seeds)
  • 3 tablespoons Maple Syrup (Pure maple syrup for sweetness)
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon Mustard (Adds a tangy flavor)
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice (Freshly squeezed for brightness)
  • 1 clove Garlic (Crushed, adds robust flavor)
  • 2-4 tablespoons Water (To achieve desired consistency)
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt (Enhances flavors)

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Collect all ingredients on a clean countertop to ensure you have everything ready before you start.
  2. Add Tahini: Place ½ cup of tahini into a medium mixing bowl to form the base of the dressing.
  3. Add Maple Syrup: Pour in 3 tablespoons of pure maple syrup and stir gently to start combining the flavors.
  4. Incorporate Dijon Mustard: Add 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard and whisk thoroughly to blend it smoothly into the mixture.
  5. Add Lemon Juice: Squeeze 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice into the bowl and whisk again until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  6. Add Garlic: Crush 1 clove of garlic and mix it into the dressing for robust flavor.
  7. Adjust Consistency with Water: Gradually add 2 tablespoons of water, whisking continuously, and add up to 4 tablespoons if needed to reach your preferred dressing consistency.
  8. Season with Salt: Add ¼ teaspoon of salt and whisk to combine all ingredients evenly.
  9. Let it Rest: Transfer the dressing into a clean jar or bottle, seal tightly, and let it sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of water to make the dressing thinner or thicker as desired.
  • This dressing pairs wonderfully with green salads, roasted vegetables, grain bowls, or as a dip.
  • Store the dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • If the dressing thickens after refrigeration, stir in a small amount of water to loosen it before serving.
  • For a bit of heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a small amount of chili flakes.
