Whisk the tahini, lemon juice and olive oil together, then mix in the spices, sesame and flaxseed to make this salad dressing. Add a little water if you want a thinner, pourable consistency.
This salad dressing thickens in the fridge because ground flaxseed absorbs moisture and tahini firms up when cold. Stir in a small splash of water or lemon juice before serving to loosen it.
Yes, this salad dressing can work as a quick marinade for vegetables, tofu or chicken. Its lemon and spices add flavor, while the tahini makes it thick, so spread it in a thin layer and refrigerate foods while marinating.
Sumac gives this salad dressing a tangy, lightly fruity flavor. It adds a different kind of sourness from the lemon, so the dressing tastes brighter and more layered than a simple lemon-and-oil mixture.
You can freeze this salad dressing, but its texture may become grainy or separate after thawing. Thaw it in the refrigerator, then whisk it well and add a little water if needed; making a fresh batch usually gives a smoother result.
Add cold water a teaspoon at a time to thin this salad dressing without adding more oil. Whisk after each addition until the tahini loosens and the dressing reaches the consistency you want.
Yes, this salad dressing works well on grain bowls with rice, bulgur or quinoa, especially with chickpeas or roasted vegetables. The tahini makes it substantial, while sumac and lemon cut through the richer flavors.
Yes, you can use whole flaxseed in this salad dressing, but it will stay more noticeable and crunchy. Ground flaxseed blends more evenly into the tahini and makes the dressing thicker.
Whisk the tahini and lemon together first, then drizzle in the olive oil while whisking to help this salad dressing stay mixed. Some separation during storage is normal, so stir or shake it before serving.
Serve this salad dressing with leafy salads, roasted vegetables, falafel or grain bowls. Its sesame and tahini flavors pair especially well with chickpeas, while the lemon and chili add brightness and heat.

This salad dressing combines flaxseed, turmeric, sumac, ginger, sesame, tahini, black pepper, chilli, lemon and olive oil. Tahini gives it a creamy body, while lemon and sumac bring a bright tang and the spices add warmth. It is a homemade-style blend rather than a single traditional recipe.
Use it to dress leafy greens, chopped vegetables or roasted vegetables, or serve it alongside a grain bowl. Olive oil, tahini and flaxseed make it rich in fats; flaxseed also contributes fibre, and the herbs and spices give it plenty of character. For a lighter coating, start with a small drizzle and loosen the dressing with lemon juice or water.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
