**You can also mix the filling in a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; however, this is not necessary.

Tahini Dressing

Tahini — a condiment made from toasted hulled sesame seeds — is popular throughout the Mediterranean and North Africa thanks to its distinctive nutty flavor and versatility. You may only know tahini as an ingredient in hummus, but it’s equally worthy as a dressing or vegetable dip by combining the paste with the sweetness of honey and the piquant flavor of Dijon mustard and garlic.

This recipe yields 16 ounces


INGREDIENTS

  • ¼ cup tahini
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1-½ tablespoons honey
  • 4 tablespoons water
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 60 ml tahini
  • 60 ml olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1-½ tablespoons honey
  • 4 tablespoons water
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic
  • 2 teaspoons salt

Directions

Whisk all ingredients together in a large bowl for a creamy salad dressing. When making a dip, less water creates a thicker consistency.
