Equipment

  • Personal Blender

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup tahini
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 2 pinches salt, or more to taste
  • 3 garlic cloves

Instructions
 

  • Process everything in a mini personal sized blender, if you have one. Alternatively, you can use a food processor, but a blender is best. Taste for seasoning. You're done! Otherwise, feel free to use the plain tahini dressing and add in the following variations:
  • Summer tahini green goddess dressing: To the original plain tahini dressing, just add a handful of herbs to the dressing, such as: dill, chives, basil, tarragon. I love a combo of all of the above! You may have to add a little more water to get everything mixed well.
  • Smoky tahini chipotle dressing: To the original plain tahini dressing, add one chipotle in adobo sauce, or 1 tsp-tablespoon (depending on how spicy you like it) of the adobo sauce.
  • Fresh Tahini Dill Dressing: To the original plain tahini dressing, just add a handful of dill and blend.
  • Italian Tahini Dressing: To the original plain tahini dressing, add a handful of sundried tomatoes
  • Chipotle, lime, and cilantro tahini dressing: In the original plain tahini dressing, replace the lemon with a lime, add in a handful of cilantro and one chipotle in adobo sauce.

Notes

For my own personal meal measurement, I like to use 1 ounce of this dressing as my fat portion.
Note: it will thicken when refrigerated. Feel free to thin it out with more water if needed.
