A simple, easy-to-make tahini vinaigrette salad dressing. This is my go-to dressing for salads! Store the dressing in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Learn how to customize this recipe.
Add the olive oil, lemon juice, tahini, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to a small jar (an 8-ounce mason jar works well). Seal the jar with a lid, and shake to combine the ingredients.
Use the dressing immeadiately, or store the dressing (sealed) in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
Storage Tip:The dressing will solidify in the cold fridge. The solution? Leave the jar on the counter until the ingredients are liquid (about 30 minutes), then shake or whisk. Or, run warm water over the outside of the jar, then shake. This will help emulsify the ingredients after separating in the fridge. Place the dressing back in the fridge after use and repeat as needed. Variations:
Maple Tahini Dressing: Add a little sweetener with 1-2 teaspoons of maple syrup (or honey).
Lemon Herb Tahini Dressing: Add 1-2 tablespoons of freshly chopped herbs. My favorite fresh herbs: basil, parsley, or mint.
Balsamic Dressing: Add 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar instead of lemon juice.
