Notes
Tips and Recommendations
- Make sure the tahini is at room temperature and stir it well before measuring.
- Be sure to use fresh garlic cloves. The flavor will not be the same if you substitute powder.
- Spice the tahini dressing up a little with a few pinches of cayenne pepper or cumin.
- Buy good tahini. My favorite brand is found at Trader Joe's, but if that is not available to you, then this is my next go to brand.
- Hot water will help to emulsify the ingredients and fresh lemon juice helps to thicken the dressing.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley.
