  2. Add the lime juice, garlic and jalapeño to the blender and pulse a few times to break them up.
  3. Add the tahini, honey, cumin and salt, then pour in half of the water and blend until thick and creamy; it may seize briefly before smoothing out.
  4. Add the cilantro and blend until the dressing turns pale green and flecked.
  5. With the blender running, pour in the remaining half of the water until the dressing is pourable; blend in another splash of cold water from the tap only if you want it thinner.
  6. Divide into 4 portions and drizzle over warm or room-temperature roasted vegetables. Keep leftovers covered in the fridge up to 4 days and stir before using.
