Zesty Lime Tahini Dressing
This dressing is a burst of flavor that elevates any salad or grain bowl. I love how the zesty lime and creamy tahini blend together for a refreshing taste that feels like sunshine on a plate.
I first discovered this zesty lime tahini dressing during a summer potluck with friends, and it was an instant hit!
The combination of creamy tahini and tangy lime juice brings such a vibrant flavor that I just had to make it my own.
I love to pour it over fresh greens or roasted veggies, and it’s become a staple in my kitchen.
Plus, it’s super easy to whip up – you’ll be amazed at how quickly it comes together!

Ingredients & Substitutions
Tahini is just ground sesame seeds and is super nutritious! If you want a nut-free version, you can try sunflower seed vegan butter instead. Lime juice really brightens this dressing, but you could swap in lemon juice if that's what you have on hand.
Tips & Notes
- •I like to keep mine in a glass jar in the fridge – it stays fresh for about a week!
- •If it thickens up in the fridge, just whisk in a little more water to loosen it up before serving.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll add a teaspoon of cumin for a warm, earthy flavor.
- •You could also toss in some chopped fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for a fresh twist!
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. Just give it a good shake or stir before using, as it may separate a bit.
