This vinaigrette blends tahini and yogurt for a rich, tangy base, while turmeric and lemon juice add warmth and brightness. It drizzles well over roasted vegetables, grain bowls, or crisp greens, and comes together in just a few minutes with a whisk or blender.

- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2-4 tablespoons water, as needed to thin
- salt, to taste
- black pepper, to taste
Method
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, and honey until smooth.
-
Add the turmeric, minced garlic, and cumin, and whisk until evenly combined and the dressing turns a uniform golden color.
-
Whisk in water, one tablespoon at a time, until the vinaigrette reaches a pourable, dressing-like consistency.
-
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then whisk once more to combine.
-
Transfer to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use; whisk again before serving as it may separate slightly.
