KEYS TO MAKE AWESOME TAHINI DRESSING

To make an amazing tahini dressing, all you need is to build up the flavor with 3 ingredients consisting of 3 tastes:

  • Salty
  • Sweet
  • Sour

You can choose your own ingredient to customize your tahini dressing. Here I list my favorite ingredients for making tahini dressing. But you can totally try to switch it up and see which combination is your favorite one!

MY FAVORITE INGREDIENTS FOR TAHINI DRESSING

  • Tahini: the main ingredients to give out the richness and earthy flavor to our dressing. Tahini is just made by grinding sesame seeds. You can make your own but I personally love the taste of some store-bought ones.
  • Soy Sauce: serves as the salty element in this dressing. It also adds the umami flavor to this dressing. You can also use liquid amino acid or tamari.
  • Apple Cider Vinegar: adds acidity to elevate the whole flavor. You can also use lemon, lime, or other vinegar.
  • Dates: balance this sauce with a little bit of sweetness. You can also use maple syrup or other sweeteners of choice.

OPTIONAL INGREDIENTS FOR TAHINI DRESSING

  • Garlic: give it more flavor. Be it garlic powder, fresh garlic, or roasted garlic.
  • Onion Powder: adds another depth of flavor.
  • Ground Black Pepper: gives this dressing a little spicy undertone.
  • Ground Flax Seeds: Add nutrition as well as thicken up the dressing.

HOW TO MAKE TAHINI DRESSING

It’s really easy to make the dressing. All you need is to blend all ingredients in a blender or simply whisk all together if you’re not using chunky ingredients like dates. Make sure you take out the seeds from the dates if you’re going to use, though.

  1. Add all ingredients along with some water to a blender and blend until smooth.
  2. Taste to adjust the seasoning to your own liking.

If you’re dressing is too watery, you can also add ground flaxseeds or more tahini at the final step to thicken up the sauce if you want. If you add the ground flaxseeds, let it sit for about 5 minutes after blending to do its magic.

This dressing can be used immediately, but I prefer to let it sit in the fridge for an hour or so to let the dressing thicken up. And I love cold dressing as well, so. 🙂

I love to use this tahini dressing for my colorful salad made of romaine lettuce, red cabbage, stir-fry carrot and onion, cucumber, beans, and some grains, such as quinoa, brown rice, chickpeas, pinto beans, etc.

That’s it! As long as you stick to the main idea of building up the main 3 flavors, you will have a great dressing. And you can also elongate the ingredient list by adding more flavorful seasoning to try out.
