Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Tahini
• 0.25 cup Fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 1 clove Garlic
• 0.5 cup Water
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cumin

Directions

Step 1

Peel and mince the garlic clove finely.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the tahini, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and maple syrup. Stir well using a whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the mix and blend it into the tahini mixture thoroughly.

Step 4

Slowly add the water a few tablespoons at a time, whisking continuously until you achieve the desired creamy consistency for the dressing. You might not need to use the entire 0.5 cup of water if you prefer a thicker dressing.

Step 5

Season the mixture with ground black pepper and ground cumin. Stir until all ingredients are well combined and the spices are evenly distributed.

Step 6

Taste the dressing and adjust flavors as necessary, adding more lemon juice for tanginess or maple syrup for sweetness if desired.

Step 7

Transfer the dressing into a jar or an airtight container for storage. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Step 8

Stir well before each use, as the ingredients may separate over time.
