Ingredients

  • ½ cup tahini
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or 2 teaspoons dried
  • 1 tablespoons fresh cilantro or 1 teaspoons dried
  • 1 tablespoons fresh chives or 1 teaspoons dried
  • 1 tablespoons fresh dill or 1 teaspoons dried
  • 1 lemon juice and zest
  • 2 teaspoons maple syrup
  • ¼-1/2 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • water as needed

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients except water to a blender or food processor.
  • Blend.
  • Add water a little at a time and blend until you reach a pourable consistency.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Notes

  • Zest your lemon before you cut and juice it. If you juice your lemon first or even cut it first it gets much harder to zest.
  • You can also mix this dressing by hand. Just mince your garlic and herbs before you add them. 
  • The tahini will start to dry out a little as it gets mixed, but once you start adding water it will thin out again.
