  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup tahini
  • 2/3 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 2/3 cup fresh cilantro, lightly packed, stems removed
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1-3 Tablespoons water to reach desired consistency (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Place the tahini, freshly squeezed lime juice, fresh cilantro (with stems removed), sea salt, maple syrup, lime zest, and olive oil into a blender.
  2. Blend Until Smooth: Blend all the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no lumps.
  3. Adjust Consistency: If the dressing is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time, blending after each addition, until you reach your desired consistency.

Notes

  • This dressing can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Adjust the lime juice and salt to taste for a more tangy or savory profile.
  • Use fresh cilantro for the best flavor; dried cilantro will not provide the same vibrant taste.
  • Great as a salad dressing, dip, or sauce for grilled meats and vegetables.
