Total Time: 5 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 1/2 cup
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Water to thin
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, finely mince the garlic clove using a sharp knife or garlic press to release its aromatic flavors.
- Add the tahini to the bowl, ensuring it is well-stirred and smooth before measuring to get an accurate 1/4 cup measurement.
- Pour the fresh lemon juice directly into the bowl with the tahini and minced garlic, creating a creamy base for the dressing.
- Whisk the ingredients together thoroughly, blending the tahini, lemon juice, and garlic until they form a uniform, creamy mixture.
- Gradually add small amounts of water, stirring continuously, to thin the dressing to your desired consistency. Start with 1-2 tablespoons and adjust as needed.
- Season with salt to taste, adding a pinch at a time and tasting between additions to ensure perfect flavor balance.
- For best results, let the dressing sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
- Transfer to a sealed container or serving vessel and refrigerate if not using immediately. The dressing will keep for 3-4 days when stored properly.
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality tahini for the smoothest texture and richest flavor.
- Mince the garlic very finely to ensure it distributes evenly throughout the dressing.
- Add water gradually to control the consistency - some prefer it thicker for dips, others lighter for drizzling.
- Let the dressing sit for a few minutes before serving to allow flavors to blend and intensify.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of dried herbs like oregano or a dash of nutritional yeast.
- Always taste and adjust seasoning - everyone's salt preference is different!
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and give it a good shake before each use.
