I keep this dress­ing stocked in my refrig­er­a­tor at home at all times. It takes no time at all to make, and pairs per­fectly with every­thing from a green salad to fried fish, grilled meats or roasted shrimp. The fun thing about tahini is its abil­ity to absorb liq­uids with­out chang­ing its over­all con­sis­tency. You can add liq­uid to tahini in almost a 1:1 ration with­out chang­ing the con­sis­tency at all, which makes for a super sim­ple dress­ing recipe, no driz­zling, no emul­sion, no stress!

I like to keep the sea­son­ing for this dress­ing sim­ple, but feel free to exper­i­ment with dif­fer­ent spices and fla­vor com­bi­na­tions. Try using cilantro, chives, and other fresh herbs, or spice up the fla­vor with some cayenne, paprika, or all­spice.

Use a medium-inten­sity olive oil. Something with nice pep­per notes and fruiti­ness to play with the rich tahini and acidic lemon juice.
