Instructions

Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk together until thoroughly combined (see notes for additional methods).

Notes

Optional mixing instructions

Combine ingredients in a mason jar or salad dressing shaker and shake well
Blend all of the ingredients in a blender (I like to use my Nutribullet here) until smooth and emulsified. Or, use an immersion blender.

Grating ginger

I find that using a zester to grate the ginger root creates super finely grated ginger that distributes really well throughout the dressing.

Variations

Make a thicker dip or sauce by adding extra tahini. If it gets too thick, add a tablespoon or two of water
Instead of adding tahini, add peanut butter for a spicy peanut sauce
Use as a marinade for chicken, fish or pork
This makes a wonderful stir fry sauce! Add it to your stir fry during the last minute of cooking.
Add some orange peel for an orange sesame dressing. Use either fresh or powdered orange peel. I absolutely ADORE this variation. ¼ teaspoon will do the trick.
Add garlic – If you aren’t following a low-FODMAP diet, add one finely diced garlic clove or ¼ teaspoon of garlic powder

How to store

Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to a week. I like to store all of my dressings in mason jars.
