The Best Tahini Mustard Dressing You'll Ever Taste

Tahini is a popular Middle Eastern and Mediterranean ingredient known for its nutty flavor and creamy texture. It's often used as a dip for bread or as a key component in dishes like hummus, baba ghanouj and taratour. 

However, tahini can also be easily modified to create different flavors and consistencies. By adding water and other flavor enhancers, it can be transformed into a versatile dressing, such as a lemon-based or a maple mustard-infused version.
