This Lemony Tahini Dressing is my go-to condiment. I pour it over salads, spread it on sandwiches, and I’ve even been known drizzle in on pizza. There’s really nothing that won’t taste a little better with a bit of tahini dressing.
Tahini
I always have jars of tahini on hand in the pantry, and I like to keep pre-mixed tahini dressing in the fridge so it’s ready to go when I need it. It’s very versatile. If you don’t have lemon juice on hand, you can use apple cider vinegar. If you like your tahini spicy, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Lemony Tahini Dressing
This recipe will make a lot of Lemony Tahini Dressing, but it will disappear quickly. Feel free to cut the recipe in half if you think it’ll be too much for you. (But I doubt it will be.) Some brands of tahini are thicker than others, so the amount of water you use in the recipe will vary. Start with half a cup and then add a little more if the dressing seems too thick. Keep in mind that it will thicken a little after sitting in the fridge.

Yum! Do you have a fav tahini brand?
Thank you, Tracey! I usually buy the Whole Foods 365 brand. If they’re out of it, I get the Once Again brand.
With a title like that, part of me was hoping there might be peas blended into the mix. That said, it still looks delicious… And I might just have to make a pea salad to toss it with! 😉
Thank you, Hannah! I bet it would taste great with peas in them mix! 🙂
