Tahini Lemon Dressing (Oil‑Free)

Tahini Lemon Dressing (Oil‑Free) is a creamy, tangy dressing inspired by Middle Eastern cuisine, made by thinning sesame tahini with water and brightening it with lemon and seasonings. It’s commonly used as a sauce for salads, roasted vegetables, bowls and grain dishes and is known for its nutty sesame flavor. Nutritionally, it delivers plant-based protein — about 7g per 100g — along with fiber and predominantly unsaturated fats from sesame. Because it’s made without added oil, it’s a way to get tahini’s texture and flavor with fewer added fats than many oil-based dressings. From a nutrition standpoint this style of dressing provides a good amino-acid profile and satiety from its fat and protein, but it’s not a notable source of antioxidant carotenoids or polyphenols compared with vegetable- or herb-heavy dressings.
