Salad Dressing with Honey and Tahini

4 servings

10 minutes

Salad dressing with honey and tahini is a harmonious blend of sweetness and deep nutty notes inspired by Mediterranean traditions. Lemon juice adds refreshing acidity, while olive oil gives it a smooth and velvety texture. Tahini—sesame seed paste—adds richness and creaminess to the dressing, making it perfect not only for salads but also as a dip for vegetables or a marinade for roasted meat. Honey softens the acidity and adds a subtle caramel sweetness, while garlic brings in a savory depth. The ease of preparation makes this dressing indispensable in everyday meals, and its rich flavor can elevate even the simplest dishes with Mediterranean charm.
