This lemon tahini dressing is spiced with cumin and paprika, and perfect for hearty kale salads, quinoa salads, or for topping your favorite protein. I love this with shawarma-style chicken!
Prepare a large bowl or jar for combining the dressing.
Prepare ingredients: Using a microplane or zester, zest 1 small lemon until you have about 1-2 teaspoons of lemon zest. Mince or crush the garlic.
Combine all ingredients except the water in bowl or jar. Stir and add a little of the water at a time to combine slowly until a smooth consistency is reached. This will clump together at first, but eventually it will become smooth and creamy and perfect. Feel free to add more water if you prefer a thinner consistency.
