Instructions

Gather Ingredients: Collect all the ingredients listed for the dressing to ensure a smooth preparation process.
Combine Base Ingredients: In a food processor, add tahini, lemon juice, extra-virgin olive oil, minced garlic, maple syrup, and salt. Pulse the mixture until it becomes smooth and well blended.
Adjust Consistency: With the food processor running, gradually pour in the water. Continue adding until the dressing reaches your preferred consistency, typically creamy and pourable but not too thin.
Garnish and Serve: Transfer the dressing to a serving bowl and top with chopped fresh parsley and toasted sesame seeds for added flavor and a decorative touch. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to use.

Notes

For a thinner dressing, add more water a tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is achieved.
Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Garnishes are optional but add extra texture and flavor.
This dressing pairs well with Greek salads, grilled vegetables, and as a dip for pita bread.
