Description

This Maple Dijon Tahini Dressing is a creamy, tangy, and sweet-savory blend that elevates any dish — from salads and bowls to roasted veggies and wraps. Vegan, oil-free, and quick to make, it’s your go-to for adding bold flavor in minutes.

Ingredients

1/4 cup tahini

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons maple syrup

2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 tablespoons water

1 small garlic clove, finely grated or minced

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the tahini, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, and lemon juice. The mixture will thicken at first.

2. Stir in the grated garlic, sea salt, and cracked black pepper.

3. Gradually add the water, whisking until the dressing becomes smooth and pourable. Add more water if needed.

4. Taste and adjust as desired—more lemon juice for brightness, maple syrup for sweetness, or mustard for extra tang.

Notes

If your tahini is thick or separated, stir it well before measuring.

This dressing may thicken in the fridge—just add a splash of water or lemon juice to loosen.

Make it spicy with a pinch of cayenne or a dash of hot sauce.
