    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.
