Top Tips
- The dressing thickens as it sits and chills. If too thick after refrigeration, let it sit 5 minutes at room temp to thin it out a bit before adding any water.
- Whisk with a small whisk or fork for a smooth, clump-free dressing. A high speed blender can also be used (especially for larger batches).
- The dressing may separate in the fridge; just shake or stir before using.
- Stir the tahini well before measuring, as the oil tends to separate from the tahini paste.
- Adjust sweetness or tang: add more tahini and vinegar if too sweet; add more maple syrup if too acidic.
- Control the consistency by how much water is added. For thicker dressing, start with 2 tablespoons water and add more a teaspoon at a time until perfect.
