HOW TO MAKE TAHINI DRESSING

This lemon tahini dressing is seriously addictive, I could add it on top of just about anything! Not to mention, it is super easy to make in only a few simple steps.

Start with adding your tahini, olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, cumin, salt, pepper, and garlic to a food processor.

Then, pulse until smooth.

Now add your liquid of choice until preferred texture is achieved. Add more liquid for a thinner dressing and less or no liquid for a creamy dipping sauce.

Don’t worry if you don’t have a high-speed blender or food processor. You will achieve a creamy and smooth texture in just about any blender since the tahini itself is already a super creamy seed butter.

However, you do need to make sure that the raw garlic is fully blended. It isn’t fun to chew on a mouthful of that…

Customizing Your Dressing to Your Flavor Preference

Everyone has a different taste preference and I have a few tips for you to make this delicious Whole30 lemon tahini dressing to your preferred flavor and consistency.

Firstly, if you are not a big fan of or are sensitive to garlic, I totally get it. You can replace the raw garlic with 1 teaspoon of garlic powder or just simply leave it out altogether.

On the other hand, for the garlic fans out there, feel free to use 2 cloves instead of one!

Growing up in China, garlic is one of the cooking essentials in my household. We never seemed to run out of it because of how much of a staple it was in so. many of our dishes, we always kept it on hand.

The same goes for salt, pepper, and cumin. Adjust to your liking, you can get creative here.

Easy to Adjust the Whole30 Tahini Sauce Texture

This healthy Paleo tahini dressing can be made in so many different variations, it all depends on your taste buds and how you are going to use it.

One way to customize this tahini dressing is playing with its consistency.

To make this gluten-free dressing more liquidy, like a salad dressing consistency, you can add a little more liquid as you go.

And vice versa.

Feel free to reduce the amount, or omit all together, of liquid for the result to be more like a creamy dipping texture. Perfect with some raw or roasted veggies, crackers, or pita chips to dip in this creamy tahini sauce for a delectable snack or appetizer.

Last but not least, you can customize this dressing by using your preferred liquid.

Simply use filtered water to make this delicious tahini dressing thinner, or use milk or nut milk to keep this recipe vegan, is also an option.

If you’ve got richer taste buds and want to pack more flavors into this tahini dressing, I highly recommend using bone broth, it definitely elevates the flavors to another level of deliciousness.

How to Serve Your Tahini Dressing

Like I said, this paleo and vegan lemon tahini sauce can be used in so many different ways! 

• Use it as a salad dressing for your favorite salad
• Spread the tahini sauce on crackers
• Make it tick and creamy and dip carrots and celery in it. Or air fryer sweet potato fries!
• Drizzle over these Crispy Bacon Brussle Sprouts. 

But my favorite way to use this Lemon Tahini Sauce is to drizzle it on oven-roasted carrots! The rich and zezty dressing elevates the sweet carrots to a whole different level!
