Easy Lemon Garlic Tahini Dressing - How to Make Tahini Dressing
Of all the salad dressing recipes we have shared, this lemon garlic tahini dressing is the one you will find most often in our fridge. Start with 1/4 cup of Tahini -- use store-bought or make your own. Next, add some finely grated or minced garlic for a delicious burst of flavor. Fresh lemon juice adds a zesty kick, while one tablespoon of olive oil creates a creamy texture. Balance the bitterness of the tahini with one tablespoon of maple syrup or honey. For an extra toasty taste, include one teaspoon of toasted sesame oil. Season the dressing to perfection with a 1/4 teaspoon of salt and smoked paprika. Whisk all the ingredients together until thick and creamy. If the dressing seems too thick, simply whisk in some cold water until it reaches your desired consistency. This versatile lemon garlic tahini dressing is perfect for drizzling over hearty salads, grain bowls, roasted veggies, and as a flavorful sauce for meats or seafood.
