Notes
Storage:
To store this dressing, place leftovers in an airtight container (such as a mason jar) and in the fridge for up to five days.
Tips + Modifications:
The dressing may harden in the fridge. You may need to allow it to sit on the counter for an hour before enjoying it. You can also add a few additional tablespoons of water to thin it out.
Make sure to use a high-quality jar of tahini for this vinaigrette. It really does make a difference.
I do not suggest replacing or eliminating any of the ingredients except the vinegar. You can certainly use red wine vinegar if needed.
