Panera Lemon Tahini Dressing Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 1/3 cup of filtered water
• 1 tablespoon of pure maple syrup
• Juice from 1 fresh lemon
• 1 small garlic clove

  finely minced
• 1/4 cup of tahini paste
• 1 teaspoon of olive oil
• A pinch of sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper

  to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika

Instructions

• 1 First things first, gather all your ingredients. It’s essential to have
  everything within arm’s reach. This keeps the process smooth as you whip up your
  dressing.
• 2 In a mixing bowl, combine the tahini paste and fresh lemon juice. Give it a good
  stir. You might notice it thickening slightly—that’s perfectly okay!
• 3 Next, incorporate the minced garlic and maple syrup into the tahini-lemon
  mixture. Stir until smooth. The garlic should blend in nicely, and the sweetness
  from the maple syrup will start to balance the tart lemon.
• 4 Now, it’s time to add the filtered water. This is where you adjust the thickness
  of the dressing. Gradually pour in the water while whisking. You can add more or
  less depending on how thick you want the dressing to be.
• 5 Drizzle in the olive oil, then season with sea salt, black pepper, and smoked
  paprika. Whisk until everything is well combined. Take a moment to taste! Feel
  free to adjust the salt or pepper as needed.
• 6 Once you’re satisfied with the flavor, transfer the dressing to an airtight
  container. If you’re serving immediately, drizzle it right onto your salad.
  Enjoy!
