Ingredients
1/2 cup tahini
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
4 to 6 tablespoons warm water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Add the tahini, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, lemon juice, olive oil, and minced garlic to a medium bowl or jar.
2. Whisk until the mixture is thick and mostly combined.
3. Add the warm water a little at a time, whisking constantly, until the dressing becomes smooth and pourable.
4. Stir in the salt and black pepper.
5. Taste and adjust with a little more lemon juice, maple syrup, or water as needed.
6. Let the dressing rest for 5 minutes, then serve over salads, bowls, roasted vegetables, or as a dip.
Notes
Do not add all the water at once, because tahini thickens suddenly at first and gradual whisking is the key to a smooth, creamy dressing.
