Ingredients
Here’s the ingredient list for the Tahini Yogurt Dressing, with precise measurements:
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (nonfat or any fat content)
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 1 large lemon)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
- Dash of black pepper
Instructions
Here’s how to make the Tahini Yogurt Dressing:
Step 1: Combine Ingredients
Add all the ingredients (Greek yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper) to a food processor or blender.
Step 2: Blend
Blend until smooth, about 40-60 seconds. Use a spatula to push down the sides as needed.
Step 3: Adjust Consistency (Optional)
If the dressing is too thick, add water, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency.
Step 4: Taste and Adjust (Optional)
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasonings as needed. You might want to add more lemon juice for extra tanginess, more salt, or a pinch more cumin.
Alternative Method (Mason Jar):
Add all ingredients to a mason jar.
Secure the lid tightly.
Shake vigorously for 1-2 minutes, or until the ingredients are well combined and the dressing is emulsified. This method may result in a slightly less smooth dressing, but it’s a great option if you don’t have a blender or food processor.
