Maple Tahini Dressing
- Combine tahini, Vinoso red wine vinegar, Iron Fish maple syrup, SELECT olive oil, salt, and pepper in a Measured Dressing Jar, mason jar, or other fully sealable container. Shake very well.
- Taste your dressing, then thin with a small amount of water. Seal and shake again, taste, and adjust your seasoning as desired. If you want a thinner dressing, continue to thin with small amounts of water until you reach the desired consistency.
You can keep this dressing in the refrigerator for up to a week – bring to room temperature on the counter and shake well before using again.
