Ingredients
Ingredients
- 60 g Tahini (⅓ cup)
- 60 g Cilantro (stems and leaves, ½ cup packed)
- 48 g Rice vinegar (¼ cup)
- 79 g Oil (olive, avocado, or another light oil for dressing, ⅓ cup)
- 4 cloves Garlic (peeled and minced)
- 1 Lime (zest and juice - about 2 tablespoons juice)
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- 3-4 tablespoons Water (as needed for thinning)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add tahini, cilantro (half or all depending on desired texture), rice vinegar, oil, garlic, lime zest and juice, and kosher salt to a blender.
- Blend Dressing: Blend all ingredients until smooth. For a chunkier texture, blend half the cilantro thoroughly and then add the rest, blending only until combined.
- Adjust Consistency and Flavor: Taste the dressing and add more tahini, oil, vinegar, salt, or lime juice to suit your preferences. If a thinner dressing is desired, add water one tablespoon at a time, blending after each addition until you reach the desired consistency.
- Chill: Transfer the dressing to a jar with a lid and chill completely. The dressing will thicken further when chilled.
- Storage: Keep the dressing refrigerated and it will last up to two weeks.
Notes
- Dressing thickens as it chills; adjust water accordingly for serving consistency.
- Blend cilantro in two stages to control texture, either fully blended or with some larger pieces.
- Use light oils like olive or avocado for best flavor and consistency.
- Lasts up to two weeks when kept refrigerated in a sealed container.
