Tahini Balsamic Dressing
Tahini Balsamic Dressing is creamy, tangy, and easy to make with simple ingredients in just 5 minutes. It's also oil-free, whole food plant-based, Whole30 compliant, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free, making it a versatile choice for meal prep or any occasion.
Combine the balsamic vinegar, tahini, salt and garlic powder in a bowl. Stir well.
Add the water and stir well. Wait about 5 minutes then add 1-2 additional tablespoons of water if needed.
Store in the fridge for up to a week.
Notes
Top tips
This dressing will thicken as it sits. Let the dressing sit for about 5 minutes to thicken after stirring together all the ingredients.
Tahini will thicken in the fridge, if you refrigerate this, let it sit out for a few minutes to get the original texture back.
Make it a little sweeter - if you like your dressing to be a bit less acidic, add a tablespoon or two of maple syrup or honey.
You will likely notice the dressing separates when stored in the fridge, just stir it up right before serving.
Add more water (1-2 teaspoons at a time) to thin out the dressing if needed.
Use a balsamic vinegar you really enjoy since it's the star of the dressing. I find that not all balsamic vinegars are the same flavor wise, so if you have a really acidic balsamic vinegar, you may need to add some sweetness.
If you don't want to use tahini or don't have it on hand, you can use almond butter or sunbutter.
Storing the dressing
Fridge: This balsamic tahini dressing can be stored in the fridge for up to a week in a well-sealed container. Note that the dressing will thicken when cold, so take out of the fridge a few minutes early to let it thin out before using. You may decide that it needs a tablespoon of water because it has thicken up so much. Just add the water and shake it up.
Freezer: You could freeze extra tahini dressing for up to 3 months in the freezer. I would recommend freezing it in 2 tablespoon portions using Soupercubes or an ice cube tray.
