Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 1 ½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • teaspoon ground black pepper
  • teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons warm water

Instructions

  • In small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, mustard, garlic, salt, pepper and paprika.
  • Gradually add olive oil, while whisking, until all oil is fully incorporated. Dressing may look separated at this point - that's OK.
  • Gradually add warm water, while whisking, until all water is fully incorporated and dressing is smooth. 
  • Dressing can be stored in a jar or other airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Makes about 2/3 cup.

Notes

If you have time, let your tahini dressing rest in the fridge for 1 hour before serving to give the flavors time to meld.
