We both love this tahini dressing. Of all the salad dressing recipes we have shared, this tahini-based dressing is the one you will find in our fridge. It’s creamy, flavorful, and works drizzled over just about anything. Think hearty salads, grain bowls, roasted veggies, and even as a sauce for meats or seafood.

We have all sorts of homemade salad dressings on Inspired Taste, but this tahini dressing is the one I have in my fridge the most often. It’s not too different from our Dreamy Tahini Sauce, which we also love.
This easy salad dressing features tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and toasted sesame oil. It’s creamy, flavorful, and perfect for greens, cooked grains, or used as a sauce for veggies and meats. A total keeper!
How to Make Tahini Dressing
To make our tahini dressing, all you need to do is whisk everything together. You might notice that the tahini thickens a little on you, but as you whisk in the water and other ingredients, it should relax and turn into a creamy sauce.
To make this dressing special, start with homemade tahini. We first started making our tahini when we shared this hummus recipe. Since then, we’ve always preferred homemade tahini over store-bought.
Our Favorite Uses for Tahini Dressing
Use this simple tahini dressing on just about anything, but here are a few of our favorites:
- Greens like kale, romaine, or baby lettuce
- Crunchy veggies like bell peppers, carrots, and cucumber
- Toss with cooked or canned beans, like chickpeas
- It’s fantastic drizzled over cooked grains like quinoa or farro
- Spoon it over roasted vegetables
We hope you try this tahini dressing; it’s perfectly creamy and made without any dairy or mayo!
