Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons tahini
  • 4 tablespoons water
  • 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
  • salt, to taste
  • black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Juice the lemon. Then, place all ingredients in a small bowl and stir until combined. 

Notes

  • Make sure the tahini you are using is creamy and not clumpy. Always stir the jar of tahini well with a spoon when opening it. This way it will stay super creamy. 
  • If it's clumpy, use warm water for the dressing. This helps to make it creamy. 
  • For more flavor, you could add a finely chopped clove of garlic to the dressing. Or you could add a bit of Dijon mustard and maple syrup. 
  • Leave out the water for a thicker version, which you can serve with crackers.
