Honey Lime Tahini Dressing creamy, flavorful and it goes with  just about any salad you’ll want to toss it with, whether it’s leafy greens, bean, quinoa or grain and protein bowls. It has a thinner consistency than many tahini dressings (which is how we personally like it), but if you want a thicker dressing, just add a little more tahini.

Lime Tahini Dressing Recipe

  • Tahini.  Tahini adds a delicious sesame flavor to this dressing. 
  • Honey.  This adds a nice sweetness to the dressing.  If you follow a vegan diet, substitute the honey for pure maple syrup if you like.
  • Lime Juice.  The fresh squeezed lime juice adds so much flavor to this dressing!
  • Olive Oil. We add in extra-virgin olive oil to the mix.
  • Garlic.  Add just 1 clove of garlic adds another layer of flavor. 
  • Seasoning. Just a little salt and pepper is used for seasoning.

Variations

  • Reduce the olive oil to 1 tablespoon and add 3-4 tablespoons water (or more for desired consistency).
  • Use lemon juice instead of lime juice.
