Instructions

Whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, water, garlic, cumin (or smoked paprika), salt, black pepper, cayenne and maple syrup (if using) in a small bowl until evenly combined. (Or — my favorite — shake everything up in a sealed mason jar or salad dressing jar until evenly combined.)
Add an additional 1-3 tablespoons of water if you’d like to thin out the dressing a bit.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 1 week.
