Instructions

Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and maple syrup or honey until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Adjust Consistency: Slowly add water, one tablespoon at a time, while whisking until the dressing reaches your desired consistency—creamy but pourable.
Season: Stir in dried oregano, salt, and black pepper, then taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if needed to balance flavors.
Store Properly: Transfer the dressing to an airtight container and refrigerate. It can be stored for up to one week.
Serve: Before serving, whisk well. If thickened in the fridge, add a little water to loosen the texture.

Notes

This dressing thickens when chilled—simply whisk in a little water to loosen before using.
It works wonderfully as a salad dressing, a dip for fresh veggies, or a drizzle over grilled vegetables and grain bowls.
For a more traditional tahini flavor, you can omit the Dijon mustard.
