Ingredients & Substitutions: What Is In The Maple Tahini Sauce Recipe

To make this delicious tahini dressing, you will need the following ingredients:

• Tahini: Tahini is a paste made from ground sesame seeds and provides a creamy and nutty flavor to the dressing.
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Olive oil is a healthy and flavorful addition to the dressing.
• Lemon Juice: Freshly squeezed lemon juice provides a tangy and citrusy flavor to the dressing.
• Pure Maple Syrup: Maple syrup adds a natural sweetness to the dressing and complements the nuttiness of the tahini.
• Red Wine Vinegar: Red wine vinegar provides a slightly acidic and tangy flavor to the dressing.
• Garlic: A small amount of minced garlic adds depth and complexity to the dressing.
• Salt: Salt is necessary to enhance the flavors in the dressing.
• Black Pepper: Freshly ground black pepper adds subtle spiciness and depth of flavor to the dressing.
• Cold Water: Cold water is optional, but it can be added to thin the dressing to a desired consistency. Using more water makes it a dressing, while no water makes it a dip.

Helpful Tools

• Mason jar or mixing bowl and whisk/fork
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Citrus juicer or handheld juicer (for the lemon juice)
• Garlic press or mincer

How To Make This Maple Tahini Sauce

Start by gathering all of the necessary ingredients.

In a medium-mixing mason jar, add the tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, red wine vinegar, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Close the mason jar tightly with the lid, and shake well to combine all of the ingredients. You can also use a whisk or a fork to thoroughly mix the ingredients.

If you are using the sauce as a dip, you can leave the consistency nice and thick. If you prefer to use it as a dressing, you can thin it out by adding up to 1/4 cup of cold water. Close the mason jar again and shake well to combine.

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings as needed. Add more salt or pepper, or adjust the sweetness by adding more maple syrup.

Once you have achieved the desired consistency and taste, your Easy Maple Tahini Sauce is ready to use! Enjoy it as a dip with vegetables or crackers, or use it as a dressing for salads, falafel, grilled proteins, or roasted vegetables. It’s versatile and delicious. I highly recommend trying it out with my Smashed Brussels Sprouts recipe.
