Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 3 Tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup good quality balsamic vinegar
  • 6 Tablespoons tahini
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice fresh squeezed
  • 1 small garlic clove minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 teaspoon fresh
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • black pepper several grinds
  • 1/4-1/2 cup water OR fresh apple cider YUM

Method
 

  1. Put all ingredients into a blender or smoothie maker and blend until smooth. You may need to add more liquid, especially as it sets, because the tahini can make it thicken. Adjust seasonings and liquid to taste and thickness preference. If you use fresh apple cider for the liquid, you may not need as much maple syrup, since they will both add sweetness.
