Description

Easy smoky tahini dressing, it’s great on buddha bowls, roasted vegetables, as a dip, or just a creamy dressing for your salad.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup tahini (stir well before measuring)
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons tamari or low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (or 1/8 teaspoon liquid smoke and 1/2 teaspoon paprika)
  • 1/3-1/2 cup ice-cold water

Instructions

  1. To a bowl, add all of the ingredients except the water, and whisk until combined.  
  2. The dressing will thicken. Then whisk in water to thin, start with 1 tablespoon at a time, and add more until you reach your desired consistency. 
  3. Store for up to a week covered in the refrigerator.
  4. If the dressing thickens once chilled in the fridge, whisk in a tablespoon of water at a time to thin it out until you reach your desired consistency.

Notes

You can also add just a portion of the water needed in the recipe to the ingredients when you first whisk them together for ease, then add more to thin it out.

How much water you'll need will depend on your tahini, if it's pourable or not (thick).
