Ingredients

Maple Mustard Tahini Dressing Ingredients

  • ¼ cup tahini
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons water, or more for a thinner consistency
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the tahini, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic to infuse the dressing with a fresh and mild pungent flavor.
  3. Adjust Consistency: Slowly whisk in 3 to 4 tablespoons of water to reach your desired consistency; add more water if you prefer a thinner dressing.
  4. Season to Taste: Add kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper incrementally, tasting as you go to balance the flavors perfectly.
  5. Serve or Store: Use immediately as a dressing or sauce, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to one week. Stir well before using if separated.

Notes

  • Adjust the thickness by adding more water or tahini depending on preference.
  • This dressing pairs well with green salads, roasted veggies, grain bowls, or as a dip for fresh veggies.
  • Keep refrigerated and consume within a week for optimal freshness.
  • Use fresh garlic to avoid overpowering bitterness.
  • Maple syrup can be substituted with honey for a less vegan option.
