About this Tahini Dressing Recipe
You may be wondering what makes this tahini dressing recipe better than the rest? Well, the answer is simple, soy sauce. I added a touch of soy sauce to my recipe and geez is it good. The soy sauce adds a depth of umami flavor that’s hard to beat.
Looking for a sweeter dressing? Try adding a touch more maple syrup. For more tang, add more lemon juice. You can tweak this recipe as you see fit, but in my opinion, it tastes just right.
It’s important to note that you also use a good brand of tahini. Tahini is known for its bitterness, so you want a good brand to ensure it blends well with the other ingredients. I like using Joyva brand. Stir it well before using it because the oil will separate from the sesame paste. However, the flavor is delicious, and it is easy to work with once it’s well blended.

Instructions
- In a liquid measuring cup, combine the tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, maple syrup, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, salt and a few turns of cracked black pepper. Stir well. Do not worry if the mixture seizes up, the water will smooth it out.
