Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 tablespoon white distilled vinegar or red wine vinegar
- 1 large, juicy lemon, juiced
- 2 tablespoons tahini (make sure it is runny and not hardened, oils should be well incorporated)
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 3-4 large garlic cloves, peeled
- 1 teaspoon fine salt
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 cup good quality extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Add all dressing ingredients, except the olive oil, to a small glass mason jar. Use an immersion blender to blend until combined. With the blender running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the dressing is smooth and emulsified. Alternatively, you can whisk or shake everything together, but an immersion blender will give you the creamiest, most emulsified dressing.
- Pour overtop pasta salads, lentil salads, bean salads, quinoa salads, lettuce salads or vegetable salads.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. After refrigeration the oils will harden. Leave out at room temperature for a couple minutes to allow the dressing to liquify before using. Shake well before using.
