Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Tahini
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (low sodium or no-salt-added)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Maple syrup
- 1 clove Garlic (finely minced or grated)
- 2 tablespoons Water (to thin as needed)
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for additional flavor)
Directions
Step 1
In a small mixing bowl, combine the tahini, low-sodium Dijon mustard, and fresh lemon juice. Use a whisk or fork to blend the ingredients until smooth.
Step 2
Add the maple syrup, minced garlic, ground black pepper, and paprika (if using). Mix until fully combined.
Step 3
Gradually add water, one tablespoon at a time, whisking as you go. Adjust the amount of water depending on your desired consistency. For a thicker dressing, use less water; for a thinner dressing, add more water one teaspoon at a time.
Step 4
Taste the dressing and adjust as needed. If you prefer a bit more tang, add a small splash of lemon juice. For added sweetness, include an extra drop of maple syrup.
Step 5
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 6
Shake or stir the dressing before serving. Drizzle over salads, roasted veggies, or grain bowls. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
