Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Water to thin, as needed
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1/4 cup tahini, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 clove garlic (minced), salt, pepper, and water.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the tahini, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Use a whisk or a fork to mix these ingredients together until they are well combined and smooth.
- As you mix, you may notice that the dressing is quite thick. To achieve your desired consistency, gradually add water, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to whisk. Keep adding water until the dressing reaches your preferred creaminess.
- Once the dressing is smooth and creamy, taste it and season with salt and pepper according to your preference. Start with a pinch of salt and a few cracks of black pepper, then adjust as needed.
- After seasoning, give the dressing one final whisk to incorporate the salt and pepper evenly.
- Your Vegan Creamy Maple Tahini Dressing is now ready! Transfer it to a serving bowl or a jar for storage. It can be used immediately or refrigerated for later use.
- This dressing pairs wonderfully with salads, roasted vegetables, or as a dip for fresh veggies. Enjoy!
