Maple Tahini Dressing

This Maple Tahini Dressing is rich, creamy, and deeply satisfying, with the perfect balance of savoury, sweet, and tangy flavours. It’s the kind of dressing that instantly elevates anything it touches – from simple salads and roasted vegetables to bowls, tofu, or grilled mock meats. The natural nuttiness of tahini forms a luxurious base, while maple syrup adds gentle sweetness that feels warm and comforting rather than overpowering.

It’s bold yet balanced, packed with healthy fats, minerals, and flavour-enhancing ingredients that make wholesome meals feel indulgent. The ginger and garlic bring freshness and depth, while tamari adds umami richness. This is a dressing you’ll want to keep on hand all week, as it transforms everyday ingredients into something crave-worthy and satisfying.
