Ingredients

1/2 cup tahini
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1.5 tbsp dried chives
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried parsley
1/2 tsp dried dill

Instructions

In a bowl or jar, combine the tahini and apple cider vinegar. This will get thick quickly.
Next add the water and spices. Stir well. Keep stirring until this becomes a creamy sauce (it won't be very thick at first).
Let the dressing sit for 3-5 minutes to thicken, then enjoy.

Notes

Tahini based sauces (like this tahini ranch dressing) will thicken in the fridge. Take them out of the fridge a few minutes in advance so they can thin out a bit. You may decide to add a little more water (1-2 tablespoons) to get the same consistency after being in the fridge.

You can easily double or triple the recipe, however I recommend that you blend the water, tahini and apple cider vinegar together in a blender (or use an immersion blender) so that you are sure the sauce is well combined. Don't add the spices right away or your dressing will turn green.

Be sure to stir your tahini when you open the jar and again right before measuring it out for recipes. The oil on top of the tahini needs to be mixed into the sesame paste to create the perfect consistency.

If you plan on making this into a ranch dip, make it thicker (use slightly less water), to make it into dressing.
