A bright, creamy, and herbaceous dressing made with tahini, fresh herbs, lemon juice, and apple cider vinegar. Perfect for salads, grain bowls, roasted veggies, and more.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (120 ml) tahini
  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) apple cider vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, finely minced
  • 1 cup (30 g) mixed fresh herbs (parsley, chives, tarragon; basil or dill can be substituted)
  • ¼ to ½ cup (60–120 ml) cold water
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Roughly chop about 1 cup (30 g) of mixed fresh herbs—parsley, chives, and tarragon work best. Mince 1 clove of garlic finely.
  2. In your blender, add ½ cup (120 ml) tahini and 3 tablespoons (45 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice. Blend for about 20 seconds until creamy and smooth.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) apple cider vinegar, 3 tablespoons (45 ml) extra virgin olive oil, and the minced garlic. Blend again for 15 seconds to incorporate.
  4. Add the chopped herbs and pulse 3-4 times, keeping flecks of herbs visible.
  5. Slowly add ¼ to ½ cup (60-120 ml) cold water while blending until desired pourable consistency is reached.
  6. Add ½ teaspoon salt and a pinch of black pepper, then blend briefly. Taste and adjust seasoning or add 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup if desired.
  7. Refrigerate the dressing for at least 30 minutes before serving to let flavors meld and thicken slightly.

Notes

Use fresh herbs for best flavor. Blend tahini and lemon juice first to prevent clumping. Adjust water slowly to get desired consistency. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Store in airtight container in fridge up to 5 days. Whisk or shake before use if separated or thickened. Optional sweetener balances acidity. Can substitute sunflower seed butter for nut-free version.
