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
We hope you try this tahini dressing; it’s perfectly creamy and made without any dairy or mayo!

Whisk all dressing ingredients in a small bowl. Don’t worry if the mixture seems clumpy at first. Once you whisk in the water, the dressing will relax and become creamy. For a thinner consistency, add a little more water.
Season to taste with additional lemon juice or salt.
Store the dressing in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
