A tangy, pourable tahini-yogurt dressing with bright lime, grassy cilantro, a hint of coriander and crunchy toasted-sesame flecks stirred in at the end.

Toasted Sesame Yogurt Lime Cilantro Dressing

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp45 gTahinistirred well
  • 2 oz60 gPlain Greek yogurt, nonfat
  • 1 lime, juiced40 gLime juice
  • 2 tbsp30 gWatercold
  • ¾ cup chopped12 gFresh cilantrofinely chopped
  • 1 clove3 gGarlicgrated
  • ½ tsp1 gGround coriander
  • ¾ tsp6 gHoney
  • 2¾ tsp8 gSesame seedstoasted
  • ¼ tsp1.5 gSalt

Steps

  1. Prepare first: finely chop the cilantro and grate the garlic. Toast the sesame seeds is optional; if you prefer to keep this fully no-cook, use pre-toasted sesame seeds from the jar.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk the tahini with the lime juice; it will seize and thicken at first.
  3. Whisk in the cold water a little at a time until the tahini mixture turns smooth and pale.
  4. Add the Greek yogurt, garlic, coriander, honey and salt, and whisk until creamy and pourable.
  5. Stir in the cilantro and the sesame seeds so they stay as flecks and crunch rather than blending in.
  6. Thin with a splash more water if needed, then spoon over leafy salads. Keeps covered in the fridge for 3 days; stir before using.

Contains: Milk, Sesame.
