Greek Tahini Dressing Ingredients
- 1/2 cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons water
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
- Toasted sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Gather ingredients: Collect all the necessary ingredients including tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, maple syrup, salt, water, fresh parsley, and toasted sesame seeds to ensure a smooth cooking process.
- Blend ingredients: In a food processor, combine the tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, maple syrup, and salt. Pulse the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Add water: While the food processor is running, gradually add the 6 tablespoons of water a little at a time until the dressing achieves your desired consistency—smooth and pourable but not too thin.
- Serve: Transfer the dressing into a serving bowl. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and toasted sesame seeds for added texture and flavor. This dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
- For a thinner dressing, add more water, one tablespoon at a time.
- Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor.
- To toast sesame seeds, sprinkle them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently until golden and fragrant.
- This dressing pairs well with Greek salads, roasted vegetables, and grilled chicken.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days and stir well before serving.
