Ingredients
Scale
For the Dressing
- 3 Tbsp. tahini
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 2 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
- ½ lemon (juice and zest)
- 1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar (or rice vinegar)
- 1 clove garlic (crushed)
- ¼ tsp. ginger (minced)
- 2-3 Tbsp. water (to thin out dressing)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add all ingredients except the water into a high-speed blender or food processor and blend for 20-30 seconds until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If you don’t have a blender, you can whisk all the ingredients together in a bowl or shake in a mason jar to combine well.
- Adjust Consistency: Gradually add water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing after each addition until the dressing reaches your desired thickness and pourability.
- Store and Serve: Transfer the dressing to an airtight container and refrigerate. It will keep fresh for 1-2 weeks. Use it to enhance salads, bowls, or as a delicious dip.
Notes
- You can substitute rice vinegar for apple cider vinegar if preferred.
- Adjust the amount of maple syrup to make the dressing more or less sweet.
- Keep the dressing refrigerated to maintain freshness and extend shelf life.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes.
- Use water sparingly to avoid overly thinning out the dressing.
