Ingredients

The following ingredients have 1 Servings
  • 1/2 cup tahini
  • 1/3 cup freshly-squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 2 small cloves garlic, pressed or minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon either: ground cumin or smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon each: Kosher salt, freshly-cracked black pepper, cayenne
  • (optional sweetener: 1 tablespoon maple syrup)

Instruction

  • Whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, water, garlic, cumin (or smoked paprika), salt, black pepper, cayenne and maple syrup (if using) in a small bowl until evenly combined.  (Or — my favorite — shake everything up in a sealed mason jar or salad dressing jar until evenly combined.)
  • Add an additional 1-3 tablespoons of water if you’d like to thin out the dressing a bit.
  • Serve immediately, or refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 1 week.
