Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup tahini
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Place the tahini, warm water, lemon juice, maple syrup, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper into a small bowl.
- Whisk the ingredients together until they are completely smooth and creamy.
- If the dressing is too thick, add water, one teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency for your grain bowls.
- Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more lemon juice for tang or maple syrup for sweetness.
- Use immediately over your Buddha bowl or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
- For a tangier vinaigrette for grain bowls, increase the lemon juice by one tablespoon.
- If you want an Asian inspired bowl sauce, add one teaspoon of low-sodium soy sauce or tamari for a gluten free option.
- This recipe makes a great meal prep bowl dressing; double the batch for several days of lunches.
