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.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 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

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, and honey until smooth.

  2. Add the turmeric, minced garlic, and cumin, and whisk until evenly combined and the dressing turns a uniform golden color.

  3. Whisk in water, one tablespoon at a time, until the vinaigrette reaches a pourable, dressing-like consistency.

  4. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then whisk once more to combine.

  5. Transfer to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use; whisk again before serving as it may separate slightly.
