Equipment

Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the tahini, maple syrup, minced garlic, Dijon, and lemon juice until well combined.
- While continuing to whisk, slowly add in water until your desired consistency is achieved. We use ¼ cup total, but you may need more or less depending on the tahini you're using.

Notes
Use runny tahini: Runny tahini blends more easily with other ingredients, giving the dressing a smoother, creamier consistency.
Fresh ingredients: For the best flavors, ensure you’re using fresh lemon and garlic.
Add water slowly: Prevent a runny dressing by slowly incorporating the water while continuously whisking the mixture.
Customize add-ins: Experiment with spices or herbs like cumin, paprika, or parsley for a unique twist.
I use ¼ cup of water, but you may need more or less depending on your tahini brand.
