Ingredients

Makes 8 servings

  • 1 flax seed oil
  • 3 tahini
  • 3 -4 water
  • 2 apple cider vinegar
  • 1 lemon juice
  • 1 soy sauce
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 sesame seeds
  • 1 -2 green onions
  • 1 onion
  • parsley

Method

  1. Combine all in a jar and shake well. It will thicken up in 10 minutes or so from the tahini. Add salt or pepper if desired. Keep refrigerated.

Cook's notes

  • For the smoothest consistency, use a high-speed blender to fully emulsify the ingredients.
  • If the dressing is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
  • Let the dressing sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the herbs and aromatics to fully bloom.
  • Taste and adjust the acidity with an extra squeeze of lemon juice if you prefer a sharper profile.

Easy swaps

  • Use tahini or soaked cashews as a base for an oil-free, creamy alternative.
  • Swap apple cider vinegar with fresh lemon juice for a brighter, citrus-forward finish.
  • If you don't have fresh herbs, use 1 teaspoon of dried mixed herbs, but reduce the amount slightly as dried herbs are more potent.
  • Replace maple syrup with agave nectar or date paste if you prefer a different natural sweetener.
