Notes
For the best consistency, skip the blender or food processor and stick to a bowl and whisk. Manual mixing allows you to better control the thickness, ensuring it doesn't over-thicken or become too airy.
Store tahini dressing in an airtight container or sealed mason jar for up to 1 week. Keep refrigerated. If the sauce thickens too much while chilled, simply whisk in a splash of warm water or lemon juice to restore its creamy consistency.
