How to Make Lemony Tahini Dressing

1. Combine Ingredients

In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, fresh lemon juice, olive oil, and finely grated garlic with ½ cup of water until the mixture reaches a smooth, creamy texture.

2. Season the Dressing

Season the dressing with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, making sure to adjust the seasoning until the desired balance is achieved.

3. Store the Dressing

Transfer the lemony tahini dressing to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Pitfalls and tips

Balance the Acidity

Start with the juice from one lemon, adjusting as needed. Meyer lemons can add a sweeter note.

Quality Tahini Matters

Choose a high-quality, smooth tahini and stir well if separated.

Control Consistency with Precision

Add ice-cold water gradually to achieve a pourable consistency.

Season with Salt and Sweet Flexibility

Adjust salt and sweetness with maple syrup or honey to taste.

Incorporate Aromatics Thoughtfully

Use grated or roasted garlic for an even, subtle flavor.
