Ingredients
6tablespoonlemon juiceabout 1 large lemon
1tablespoonlemon zestfrom one large lemon
4tablespoontahini
5tablespoonwater
1tablespoonmaple syrup
1teaspoonsea salt
½teaspooncayenne pepperor to taste
1clovegarlicminced (optional)
Instructions
Add all ingredients to the jar of a blender, secure lid, and blend until smooth and creamy. Transfer to a storage container with a tight-fitting lid. I like to use a mason jar. Keep refrigerated until needed. The dressing may thicken over time, just a little warm water (1 tablespoon at a time) if needed to thin to desired consistency. Will keep refrigerated for about 1 week.
Notes
I find this dressing most useful for meal prep if I do not add garlic. Garlic adds nice spice and flavour, however gets stronger as the dressing sits. If I'm planning to make ahead and use all week, I leave out the garlic. Adding only to the portion I'm using if the recipe calls for it. The dressing will keep about 1 week in the refrigerator.
