Creamy Lemon Tahini Sauce (5-Minute Dairy-Free Dressing)
This creamy lemon tahini sauce is a 5-minute, dairy-free dressing made with simple whole-food ingredients. Perfect for busy weeknights!
Equipment
- Glass container (for storage)
Ingredients
- ½ cup Sesame tahini
- 3 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon Sea Salt
- 3-6 tablespoon Cold water
Instructions
- Whisk the Base: In a medium glass bowl, combine the tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, and sea salt.
- Begin whisking: The mixture will naturally thicken and look slightly clumpy - this is expected when using mixing tahini with lemon juice.
- Thin & Fluff: Slowly add ice-cold water, one tablespoon at a time, while whisking vigorously.
- Reach Consistency: Continue adding water until the sauce transforms into a pale, airy cream that is easily pourable.
- Finish: Use immediately or transfer to a glass jar for storage.
Notes
- Use ice-cold water: This will ensure the sauce becomes creamy and fluffy.
- Storage: Keep in a sealed glass jar in the fridge for up to 7 days.
- Reviving the Sauce: If the sauce thickens too much in the fridge, whisk in a teaspoon of room-temperature water to return it to a pourable consistency.
- Avoid the freezer: The sauce will turn grainy if freezed.
