Notes
Tips for customizing tahini salad dressing
- Swap the fresh garlic for ¼ teaspoon of garlic powder
- Adjust the flavors to your liking by adding more or less lemon juice, garlic, cumin, or maple syrup
- I recommend fresh lemon juice, but in a pinch you can use the bottled lemon juice
- Use as a dressing for salads, grain bowls, or stuffed sweet potatoes
- Drizzle over roasted veggies or use as a dip for fresh vegetables
