Ingredient notes & substitutions
- Tahini- just make sure to buy a good quality tahini since that's the star of this dressing.
- Lemon juice- you need to use fresh squeezed lemon juice for this recipe.
- Garlic- if you're not a big garlic fan just use one clove. If you're like we are you could even use three!
- Maple syrup- you could leave this out all together if you prefer. Although I prefer a touch of sweetness with this dressing.
