Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup Tahini
- 2 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tsp Honey
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Fresh Thyme, chopped (or Za’atar)
- 1 Orange, juice and zest
- 1/2 Lemon, juiced
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a jar with a lid, add the tahini, balsamic vinegar, orange juice and zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, fresh thyme or za’atar, honey, and approximately 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- Shake to Mix: Secure the lid on the jar and shake vigorously until the dressing is well combined and smooth. Taste the dressing and adjust the salt, pepper, or acidity as needed.
- Adjust Consistency: If the dressing is too thick, add a little more water or lemon juice and shake again until you reach the desired consistency.
Notes
- This dressing keeps well refrigerated for up to 5 days; shake before using as ingredients may separate.
- For a vegan version, ensure the honey is substituted with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Za’atar can be substituted with fresh thyme for a more herbaceous flavor.
- Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick if desired.
- Great as a salad dressing, dip for veggies, or drizzle over grilled meats and roasted vegetables.
