This creamy and zesty Lemon-Tahini Dressing is the perfect balance of richness and freshness. The nutty tahini pairs beautifully with the bright citrus flavour of lemon, while a hint of garlic and a touch of sweetness bring depth to the taste. Use it to drizzle over salads, roasted vegetables, or grain bowls for a flavourful, nutrient-dense boost.
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp tahini
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp water (adjust for desired consistency)
- ½ tsp maple syrup or honey (optional, for balance)
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini and lemon juice until smooth.
- Add the water, stirring gradually, until the dressing reaches your desired consistency.
- Mix in the garlic powder, salt, and pepper. If using maple syrup or honey, stir it in for a subtle sweetness.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. If the dressing is too thick, add a little more water, one teaspoon at a time, until smooth and pourable.
- Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
