My friend Erin requested a tahini dressing recipe, and here it is! This tahini dressing is luxuriously creamy yet plant-based (no mayo!). It’s a fun alternative to your standard vinaigrette.
This tahini dressing is versatile and goes with a wide variety of salad ingredients. I listed a bunch of those ingredients below to help you craft your own salad. The tahini dressing will bring it all together.
I shared my go-to tahini sauce recipe a couple of months ago (have you tried it yet?). This salad dressing is similar but designed specifically for drizzling on salads, rather than using as a dipping sauce or on sandwiches.
For this salad dressing, I omitted the garlic and made up for the lost flavor by adding Dijon mustard. I also incorporated some olive oil in this dressing to make it extra luxurious. It’s easy to whisk together at a moment’s notice, and keeps well for about a week. I think you’re going to love it!
Tahini Dressing Tips & Notes
Buy good tahini! They vary a lot in flavor and consistency. The best tahini comes from Ethiopia, and my favorite brands of Ethiopian tahini are Soom Foods (affiliate link) and Trader Joe’s organic tahini.
Ice-cold water is key. Fill a glass with water and ice before you make this dressing so your water is very cold. The cold water ensures that the mixture emulsifies instead of getting all gloppy and weird. It also turns an already-creamy mixture into a remarkably creamy dressing! You’d almost think there’s mayonnaise in this dressing, but there’s not.
Balance tahini’s bitterness and tang with a little sweetener and some extra salt. A little bit of maple syrup or honey go a long way in making this salad taste well-balanced, complex, and totally delicious. This dressing also calls for a little more salt than most of my other dressings. Salt helps balance bitterness and brings out tahini’s best.
Tahini Dressing Salad Suggestions
This tahini dressing would be great on a salad with any of the following ingredients:
- Greens: kale, arugula, romaine, spring greens
- Tomatoes
- Bell pepper
- Radish
- Fennel
- Cucumber
- Carrots
- Cabbage
- Summer squash
- Red onion or green onion
- Fresh herbs: basil, cilantro, chives, dill, parsley
- Beans: chickpeas, lentils
- Whole grains: quinoa, farro, wheat berries
- Nuts and seeds: almonds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds
- Cheese: goat cheese, feta
Please tell me how you like this dressing in the comments! I’m so eager to hear how your salads turn out!

Creamy Tahini Dressing
- Author:
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Total Time: 10 minutes
- Yield: ¾ cup 1x
- Category: Salad dressing
- Method: By hand
- Cuisine: Mediterranean
You’re going to love this delicious creamy tahini dressing recipe! It’s simple to make, full of nutritious ingredients and goes with everything. Recipe yields about ¾ cup.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup tahini
- 2 to 3 tablespoons lemon juice, to taste
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons ice-cold water, more as needed
Instructions
- In a liquid measuring cup or jar, combine the olive oil, tahini, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, mustard, maple syrup, salt, and several twists of black pepper. Whisk until thoroughly blended.
- Add the cold water, and whisk again. The dressing should become remarkably creamy. Taste, and add more lemon juice (for zing) and pepper, if desired. If your dressing is too thick to drizzle, whisk in more cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Serve!
- This dressing will keep well in the refrigerator, covered, for about 1 week. It may thicken with time; simply thin it with a little more cool water as needed.
Notes
Make it vegan: Use maple syrup instead of honey.
Change it up: You can stir in a couple of tablespoons of finely chopped fresh herbs (dill, basil, mint, cilantro or parsley) for an herbed tahini dressing. For full-blown green goddess flavor, see the herbs and amounts suggested here.

I just wanted to thank you Kate for the flavorful recipes! I’ve got your cookbook as a birthday gift from my husband….it’s the best! There hasn’t been a recipe that has failed in flavor or presentation…I know there won’t be!
Kate
You’re so welcome! What a thoughtful husband too, Emma. :) You’re so sweet, thank you. That is my goal! Let me know what you think of the cookbook too. I would love a review on Amazon if you do love it.
Emma
Sure! I will definitely leave a positive review on Amazon. I loved it! :)
Jana
I love this dressing. I use it on salads or to dress canned beans. I have made it with half the oil or oil free altogether and it is just as good as the original recipe.

Marianne
Need some vegan replacements for eggs milk etc can u include this in your recipes?
Kate
Hi Marianne! Check out the notes below the recipe instructions. I try to put substitutions for common dietary needs there. Hope this helps!
Peppermint Dolly
YUM! This looks fantastic!!
Kate
Thank you!
Megan Gubler
Hi – would it work with Wholegrain mustard instead of dijon? Just curious if I should omit or if it would be an ok substitute. :)
Kate
Hi! I haven’t tired it with this and it does tend to offer slightly different flavor.
Chelsea
Yum! I love tahini dressing on salads with sweet potatoes, too! I just picked up some tahini from TJ’s- this is going on next week’s meal prep list :)
Kate
Wonderful! Let me know what you think of the recipe. Way to be on top of meal prep for next week already!
Susan
Sooo … what do you think this dressing might be like drizzled over top roasted cauliflower that has turmeric/paprika seasonings ???
Kate
Oh, that would be interesting! Sure. Report back on what you think, Susan.
Karen Clementi
I leave out the sweet honey/maple syrup because I don’t like sweet.. Add a little nutritional yeast! This is a very good recipe.

Thank you, Karen! I appreciate you sharing how you change it up.

Yummm I know I’ll love this because I already love the tahini sauce recipe, and dijon mustard obviously makes everything better. You rock!
★★★★★

Yes! I’m glad you are enjoying them better. Thanks for commenting and your review, Nicole!
Irina
Hi. I like very much your recipes. Will try this one. One note is : is that possible to link some ingredients with its picture.. for example , what is tahini ? I dont have it in my kitchen. Can it be switched with something else? Thanks
★★★★★
Kate
Hi Irina! Love the questions. Tahini is a paste made from sesame seeds. Similarly like a nut butter would be made. For this specific recipe, you really do need tahini. You should be able to find this at your local grocery store. It’s typically found by the nut butters. Hope this helps!
Marianne coros
Hi Kate thanks for reply I always note the vegan substitutions. What I was referring to
Was your book which I bought. I’d like to see more vegan options or recipes w/o milk butter etc
Like Baking recipes using applesauce instead of oil etc
Thanks
Marianne
Kate
Hi Marianne – Ah, yes! If you look at the bottom of the page in the cookbook, I provide the dietary notes for common dietary restrictions. If possible, I provide how you can make it vegan/gluten free/etc. Hope this helps! But I will keep you request in mind as I’m developing recipes. :) Thanks for your comment!

Kathey Hunter
This tahini dressing is so delicious, I started eating it by the spoonful. Had to save enough for my salad. I did mine in a jar with the stick blender from ingredients that I had on hand. Thanks for a great recipe.
★★★★★
Kate
Wonderful, Kathey! Thanks for your review.
Lilian B
Yum! Sounds delicious, and as easy to whip up as a simple vinaigrette! I love tahini-based dressings on kale — something about the flavors and the heartiness of both complement each other really well.
Kate
Kale is a great way to have this dressing for sure! Thank you, Lilian for your comment.
Laura
Is tahini ground up sesame seeds?
★★★★★
Kate
Yep! Thanks for the review.
vivian
What a great dressing! My son doesn’t eat dairy so it’s nice to find a creamy nodairy dressing to change things up from vinaigrette. Love the tip about ice water, which is totally opposite to what I have done with clumpy tahini in the past. Thanks for another great recipe, Kate.
★★★★★
Kate
You’re welcome, Vivian!
Susan
This dressing does sound interesting. I’ve always used Joyva tahini, a middle eastern brand I was introduced to about 50 years ago by a Lebanese boyfriend. I would be interested to check out your Ethiopian tahini to see how it compares.
Kate
Let me know what you think, Susan!
Cassie Autumn Tran
Tahini is NOT something I could eat by the spoonful–I first dug into it a while ago and almost choked because of the bitterness! HOWEVER. In salads, hummus, and in desserts? MINDBLOWINGLY delicious. That in mind, I definitely want to integrate it more into my diet for its health benefits and for its quality of flavors! This dressing looks superb and so versatile for any seasonal salad!
Kate
Hooray! Thanks, Cassie.
Becca
OMG YUM! I was pleasantly surprised by the dijon mustard flavor and how it went so great with the tahini. You’ve made boring salads fun again!
★★★★★
Kate
I’m glad you liked the dijon touch, Becca!

I loved the tahini dressing. However, I used way more lemon juice, a litttle more than double and also, half a lime. It is delish! You are the best Thanks
Kate

Charlene
Finally tried this recipe (with syrup) and it is delicious! What a perfect blend of flavors. It is a definite go-to for me now, thank you!
★★★★★
Kate
You’re welcome, Charlene!
Carmen
I love this dressing! I found the amount of Dijon to be a bit too strong (for me) so I added a generous squeeze of juice from 1/4 of an orange, right at the end. This yummy dressing topped my haloumi Buddha bowl with roast cauliflower, pumpkin and zucchini. Thanks for the fab recipe!
★★★★★
Kate
Sounds like a delicious combination, Carmen! Thanks for sharing.
Suzanne Wilson
The dressing is delicious! I had it over a kale quinoa salad. How do you recommend storing the dressing?
★★★★★
Kate
In an air tight container in the refrigerator. I hope this helps! Thanks for your review, Suzanne.
Mario
Kate –
Have not tried this recipe yet, but I will.
Actually I have a question based on an instruction.
You write that honey is not vegan. I’m not vegan (nor vegetarian), so I was surprised to read that statement.
Why is it not? Just curious.
Kate
Honey is made for bees, by bees so it doesn’t follow vegan guidelines. I hope this helps!
Lori
Thanks for this – it has become our go-to dressing (for just about everything) since we changed our diet to just this side of vegan.
We substitute a 1/8th of a teaspoon of stevia for the honey. We also double the amount of lemon juice. This is definitely a “to taste” recipe. Brilliant!
★★★★★
Kate
I’m glad this is now a go-to, Lori! Thanks for your review.
Alexia
This dressing looks delicious! I’ve been looking for some good dressing recipes for salads. Thank you.

Wow! This tahini dressing has become my standard. I have used others, but this one is perfectly balanced. Thank you.
Kate
Love to hear that, Oriana! I’m so happy you love it.
EmJaY
I love this recipe, thank you! I make oven roasted veggie power bowls and use this as a dressing so they aren’t too dry. The power bowls have broccoli, onions, garlic, grape tomatoes, cauliflower, asparagus, turnip and sweet potatoes. I add a jammy egg for protein and drizzle this dressing over the top.
★★★★★
Kate
That sounds delicious!
Ann
I tried it and didn’t care for it (I think only because I didn’t care for the aftertaste of my olive oil AND tahini, something tasted rancid or bitter to me) but hubbie liked it. I will taste both the olive oil and tahini BEFOREhand next time. I used maple flavored monk fruit syrup instead of maple syrup because were are on a VERY low carb diet, trying to get to ketogenic. Thank you so much for the recipe, I’m sure if I had better oil and tahini that I would like it better. I will try it again.
THANK YOU!
★★★★
Kate
You’re welcome, Ann! Thanks for your review.

Hi..can you please tel me if I can substitute the oil,as I can’t have oil

Hi! Oil is really needed for this dressing. You could possibly try adding some water instead to make it more dressing-like.
MARIA DOWDS
Lovely dressing .
Plus your recipe for hummus is a big favourite in our house too.
★★★★★
Kate
Thank you, Maria!
Jenny
This was delicious and the flavors developed beautiful over the following days. I added the pulp of a roasted lemon, and only a 1/2 tsp of honey. Paired with oven roasted artichoke halves (475 degrees convection oven for 25 minutes.) next time I’ll add parsley
★★★★★
Kate
Sounds amazing! Thank you for sharing, Jenny.
Rowan
Dressing was looking and tasting great until i added the water. Instantly split. Which is not surprising! Find it a bit annoying that most of the 5-star ratings for this recipe are people who ‘want to try it’
★★★
Kate
I’m sorry you were annoyed, Rowan. I encourage all types of communication on my recipes as I love to hear what people are excited about.
Leigh
Mine split as soon as I added water, too. I was able to get it back together for the most part but it still doesn’t seem quite right. I followed all the directions.
Kate
Hi Leigh, did you use ice cold water?
Leigh Vandebogart
I did. Overall, I don’t think you need oil in this recipe, since the tahini is already quite oily. I switched to a recipe that omits the oil, but is basically the same, and it’s much better.

This was so delicious!! It is delicious as written. Gaby Dalkin also has a really great tahini dressing with her kale avocado ceasar salad! I love the addition of the mustard and maple syrup in this recipe, and I love the garlic in her recipe, so I added 3 cloves of garlic to this!! It was wonderful!!! Thanks so much for the great recipes!!!
★★★★★

Gaby knows her stuff! Thanks for sharing what you loved about this one, Jill.
Nicole Zhu
Made this tahini dressing three days ago, have been making a batch every day since and loving it so much. This dressing is savory and tangy with mustard, yet zesty and spicy from the lemon and pepper. This salad dressing has confirmed my newest salad addiction: spring greens with julienned carrots, falafel balls from Trader Joe’s, some roasted corn, and this dressing. Perfect for the summer time, nutritious, and lip-smackingly delightful.
★★★★★
Kate
That sounds like a delicious combination, Nicole! Thank you for sharing.
Catherine
Can this dressing be mixed into a quinoa salad rather than drizzled on lettuce salad as in the picture? It sounds delicious and I have been looking for a different dressing other than the olive oil and lemon type. Thank you for your reply.
Kate
Sure! Use it how you like, Catherine.
Kyle
Made this last night and used on a Buddha bowl and it was fabulous!!
Kate
Thank you for sharing, Kyle!

I absolutely loved this recipe and used it with some Lamb Koftas and Chick Pea Salad. I did add some Smoked Honey which was a winner for me. The spiciness of the Koftas and the Chick Peas were offset by the creaminess and smokey flavours of the dressing. Wonderful.
Amanda Aube
Do you recommend raw or roasted tahini? I seem to see options for both. Thank you!
Kate
Hi Amanada, whichever you prefer. I tend to lean toward raw. It depends on your preferred taste.

I’m not sure what happened, but I tried making this twice (once with ice cold water and once with warm water just to see)and each time I added the water the dressing split and became a gloppy, separated mess. Do you know why this may have happened?

Hi Erin, how long did you try to mix it for? Did you use a whisk?

Shannon
New family favorite recipe for Buddha bowls.
I have made it 3 times in the last 2 weeks! However, last night instead of being silky it became grainy and lumpy. I’m wondering what went wrong…I added more water. It didn’t help. I made another batch and again it was grainy. Do u have any clue why you think???
(The only ingredient I omit is the maple syrup)
★★★★
Kate
Hi Shannon, assuming the water was ice-cold? Omitting the syrup could have impacted, but my assumption would be the temperature of the water.
Susan Van Cott
OK, so this is the SECOND recipe I have read of yours, and I love it. Well, I love the concept, as it is midnight, and I am in my bed, and not in my kitchen. But I LOVE your taste buds, and I love the recipes in reading form, to the point that my mouth is watering. I KNOW I will try this, as I have all those ingredients in my fridge. I am always looking for a great dip for artichokes, and THIS will get me through the weekend. Thank you!!!

Wow! I went looking for a nice tahini-based salad dressing to use on my coleslaw. I tried one last week but it was quite thick and didn’t really work well. Your recipe is absolutely delicious and works out to be the perfect consistency. Thank you so very much! My only complaint : i have just put the leftovers in a jar, and now I keep going back and eating it by the spoonful ;-) It is so creamy and really nicely balanced flavours. Thanks so very much!

YES!! This is my new favorite tahini-based dressing! I love it on my “deconstructed falafel” salad (greens, parsley, cilantro, grains, chickpeas, feta, and whatever veggies we have on hand). Can’t wait to try it drizzled on spiced & roasted cauliflower or eggplant. Seriously, it is delicious. I think the small amount of sweetener is a worthy indulgence because it really offsets the tahini bitterness.
★★★★★
Kate
I love that idea! Thank you for sharing, Melissa.
