Tahini Salad Dressing

Tahini Salad Dressing

Ingredient:

1/3 cup well-stirred tahini (sesame seed paste)

1/3 cup water

1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

2 garlic cloves, chopped

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon sugar (optional)

Directions:

Place all ingredients in bowl mix with a fork vigorously. This is very easy and delicious. I will definitely make again and again. I love that it has no oil. We had it over a salad of cucumbers, tomatoes, avocado and green onion.

I have included several versions of the Tahini Salad Dressing recipe, pick your favorite or try them all.
