This lemon herb tahini dressing is a flavor explosion and ready in under 10 minutes. Excellent on salads, dipping veggies in and spreading on sandwiches. Easy to make, bright addicting flavor.

Why You Need To Make This Lemon Herb Tahini

This dressing is incredibly easy to whip up, it’s made with nutritious ingredients you can feel good about eating. So many dressings have tons of chemicals and unnecessary ingredients. Not this one! This herbed dressing is thick, has huge flavors from herbs and it works as a dressing, a dip or a spread. You can adjust the viscosity of it easily with a little more or less water.

Ingredients Needed

• Tahini. It’s important to have a well mixed tahini, make sure you mix it well before measuring and using. You can find tahini near the peanut butter in your local grocery store. You can also order it on Amazon.

• Fresh Chives. Chopped finely for flavor.

• Fresh Dill.Chopped finely for flavor.

• Fresh Parsley. I use curly but flat parsley will also work.

• Lemon Zest. This is to give it a bright citrus flavor and a main ingredient component.

• Lemon Juice. Fresh squeezed lemon just is best for this recipe.

• Olive Oil. To add flavor and thin the recipe out a bit.

• Garlic. For aromatics and delicious flavor.

• Shallot. For aromatics and flavor building. Shallots are a bit more mild compared to other onions. They are small and purple in color.

• Maple Syrup. To balance the tangy flavor of the lemon herb tahini. You can also use honey, however I love the flavor maple syrup brings to this dressing.

• Salt and Pepper. Because it belongs in (almost) every savory recipe.

Steps To Make This Recipe

Step One. Start with measuring out the tahini, Zest your lemon then juice the lemon. Add everything into a high speed blender or food processor and mix until ingredients form a thick dressing.

Step Two. Add and extra water if needed (only 1 tbsp at a time) to thin the dressing if you want. I prefer mine a bit thick, similar to a dip texture. You can also season with salt and pepper to taste if you feel you want more.

Step Three. Transfer into an air tight container if not using right away, store in the refrigerator. Use as a dressing, dip veggies or chips in it or spread it on wraps and sandwiches.
