- ½ teaspoon garlic powder or 1 small clove garlic, grated

- 3 tablespoons cold water
- Juice of 1 lemon or to taste
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine the tahini, balsamic vinegar, Dijon, maple syrup, and garlic powder in a medium bowl or jar with a tight-fitting lid. Add dried herbs as desired. Whisk well until the tahini starts to seize. Then add 3 tablespoons cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Add fresh lemon juice to taste.

Notes
-
- Use high-quality balsamic vinegar for the best-tasting balsamic dressing.
- Add a pinch of lemon zest for more citrus flavor.
- Creamy tahini is easier to work with. I enjoy the tahini from Soom Foods as well as Seed + Mill.
