Ingredients

1/2 cup filtered water
1/2 cup raw tahini (see notes)
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon minced garlic (1 clove)
1/2 teaspoon Celtic sea salt

Instructions

Throw all of the ingredients into your blender, and blast on high for 30 to 60 seconds until smooth and creamy. (Depending on the thickness of your tahini, you may want to add an additional 1 to 2 tablespoons water to help make the dressing more pourable.) Adjust any seasonings to taste.
Serve immediately, or allow the dressing to chill in the fridge until ready to use. (The dressing will thicken a bit when chilled, making a thick dressing or veggie dip, but you can easily thin it out with additional water, as desired. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.)

Recipe Notes

Use raw tahini, if possible. The raw variety is very light in color and mild in flavor, unlike roasted tahini, which is runny and very bitter. If you can’t find the raw version with no added oil in your local store, purchase it online or make your own by grinding hulled raw sesame seeds in a food processor until smooth.
