Servings: 6
Equipment
- high speed blender or food processor
Ingredients
- ½ cup tahini, well stirred
- 1 tsp minced shallot
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves
- ¼ cup fresh parsley
- ¼ cup fresh chives
- ¼ cup fresh dill
- 2 tsp lemon zest
- ¼ cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed about 2 lemons
- ¼ cup cold water *see notes
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
- 1 tsp maple syrup *see notes
Instructions
- Recipe makes about 1 cup of dressing. 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Notes
*you may need more water to thin the dressing to the consistency you prefer.
*honey will also work
