This 5-ingredient dressing is tangy, nutty, and a true staple. Use it on salads, as a dip, or drizzle on roasted veggies.

Ingredients
- 2 medium lemons see note #1
- ½ cup tahini
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce or tamari
- 1 teaspoon honey optional; adjust to taste
- ¼ cup water as needed
Instructions
- Zest and juice the lemons. Measure out ¼ cup of lemon juice.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, lemon zest, soy sauce, and honey.
- The dressing will be quite thick. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.
- Keep refrigerated for up to a week. Enjoy on salads, roasted veggies, and in grain bowls.
Notes
- Lemons: One large lemon typically makes 3-4 tablespoons of lemon juice, but I recommend buying 2 lemons just in case.
- Tahini: Different brands of tahini have different consistencies, so add water just 1 tablespoon at a time to thin the dressing. Makes sure the tahini is well stirred before measuring, as the oils and solids tend to separate in the jar.
- Makes about 1 cup of dressing.
