Lemon Tahini
Ditch the store-bought dressing and whip up a batch of homemade Lemon Tahini Dressing. With just a few pantry ingredients, you'll have a versatile, delicious dressing for salads and roasted veggies.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 1 ½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons warm water
Instructions
- In small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, mustard, garlic, salt, pepper and paprika. Gradually add olive oil, while whisking, until all oil is fully incorporated. Gradually add warm water, while whisking, until all water is fully incorporated.
- Dressing can be stored in a jar or other airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Notes
- The quality of your tahini really matters, and not all brands taste the same. You may need to try a few brands to find your favorite. The flavor should be nutty, creamy, and not overly bitter.
- If you have time, let your tahini dressing rest in the fridge for 1 hour before serving to give the flavors time to meld.
