Honey-Tahini Dressing
Extra-virgin olive oil and lemon juice are the backbone of this dressing, but it gets a unique toasty flavor from tahini.
Ingredients
-
1/2 cup lemon juice
-
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
-
1/3 cup tahini, (see Tip)
-
2 tablespoons honey
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
Directions
1.
Combine lemon juice, oil, tahini, honey and garlic in a blender, a jar with a tight-fitting lid or a medium bowl. Blend, shake or whisk until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Tips:
Tip: Tahini is a thick paste of ground sesame seeds. Look for it in large supermarkets in the Middle Eastern section or near other nut butters.
MAKE AHEAD TIP: Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
