- ¼ cup tahini well-stirred
- 1 ½ tablespoons agave nectar (See Note)
- 1 ½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove grated on zester/microplane
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
- 4 to 6 tablespoons cold water
Combine the tahini, agave nectar, lemon juice, garlic and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk well to combine.
Add water a tablespoon at a time, whisking after each addition, until desired consistency is achieved.
The dressing thickens as it rests, particularly when stored in the refrigerator. Add a little water and re-whisk to loosen it up to the desired consistency.

Note: If you don’t have agave nectar, use maple syrup or honey instead. Honey is not considered vegan, so avoid that option if you’re following a vegan diet.
