- lemon juice
- water

- pepper
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients: tahini, turmeric powder, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, water, salt, and black pepper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, measure out 1/2 cup of smooth tahini, ensuring it is well-stirred before measuring.
- Add 1 teaspoon of ground turmeric powder to the tahini, which will provide anti-inflammatory benefits and a vibrant golden color.
- Mince 1-2 cloves of fresh garlic very finely to release maximum flavor and blend smoothly into the dressing.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice, measuring approximately 2-3 tablespoons, to add brightness and tanginess to the dressing.
- Gradually add warm water, starting with 2-3 tablespoons, to help thin the dressing and achieve desired consistency.
- Whisk all ingredients together thoroughly until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, with no lumps.
- Season with a pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, adjusting according to preference.
- If the dressing is too thick, continue adding water in small increments until reaching desired drizzling consistency.
- Transfer to a glass jar or container and refrigerate. The dressing will keep for 5-7 days when stored properly.
Tips
- Use high-quality tahini for the smoothest texture - look for brands that are well-stirred and creamy.
- Fresh garlic is key: mince it very finely to distribute flavor evenly.
- Adjust water gradually to achieve your ideal dressing consistency.
- For extra anti-inflammatory boost, use fresh, high-quality ground turmeric.
- Store in a glass jar with a tight lid in the refrigerator for maximum freshness.
- If dressing thickens in the fridge, simply whisk in a little warm water before serving.
- Experiment with adding a touch of honey or maple syrup for subtle sweetness.
