About the Recipe

This citrus tahini dressing is creamy, tangy, and lightly sweet, with fresh orange juice adding a bright citrus flavor. It comes together quickly and is delicious over kale salads, roasted vegetables, grain bowls, wraps, or chickpea salads.

  • ¼ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ tsp sea salt, or to taste

  • 1–2 tbsp water, as needed to thin
  • Optional Add-Ins
  • 1 garlic clove, finely grated
  • 1 tsp orange zest

Preparation

Step 1


Add the tahini, orange juice, apple cider vinegar, salt, and agave (if using) to a small bowl or mason jar.



Step 2


Whisk until smooth. The dressing may thicken at first—this is completely normal.



Step 3


Add the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking after each addition until the dressing reaches your desired consistency.



Step 4


If using any optional ingredients, stir them in and taste. Adjust with more salt, orange juice, vinegar, or agave as needed. The dressing will thicken as it chills; whisk in water or orange juice before serving.
