Make this simple, flavorful, and creamy tahini dressing at home. It pairs well with grains, vegetables, and proteins in your favorite grain bowls.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup tahini
  • 1/4 cup water (or more, for thinning)
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Place the tahini, water, lemon juice, maple syrup, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper into a small bowl.
  2. Whisk the ingredients together until they are completely smooth and creamy.
  3. If the dressing is too thick, add more water, one teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired pouring consistency.
  4. Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more lemon juice for tang or maple syrup for sweetness.
  5. Use immediately over your Buddha bowl or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Notes

  • For a tangier vinaigrette for veggie bowls, reduce the maple syrup to one tablespoon and add one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar.
  • To make a peanut sauce for Buddha bowls, substitute the tahini with 1/2 cup of smooth peanut butter and use soy sauce instead of salt.
  • This recipe is naturally vegan and gluten free.
