Ingredients

¼ Cup tahini
2 Tablespoons yellow mustard alt. 2 teaspoons mustard powder + 2 Tablespoons white vinegar
1 Tablespoon maple syrup
1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
4 tablespoons water to thin
¼ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

Add your tahini, mustard, maple syrup, lemon juice, water, and salt to a bowl, then blend it well. You can use an immersion blender, high-powered milk frother, or a small food processor; any of these would do the job, though the latter would whip it up more.
Once done blending, after about a minute, your tahini maple mustard dressing is ready to be used! You can store it in the fridge for up to 6 hours to keep it low histamine, or up to one week if you're not following a specific diet.

Notes

Lemon Juice. if you can't tolerate lemon juice, you have a few options for substitutes. One is the same amount of lime juice or yuzu juice. Another is ½ teaspoon amchur powder + 1 Tablespoon water, OR ½ teaspoon sumac + 1 Tablespoon water (though neither of these two will create an emulsification).

Making a Salad: This stuff goes great on everything in my opinion, but I especially like adding almonds or chia seeds for crunch, and some sort of berry or pear for a fresh punch of flavor. If you can tolerate it, this tastes amazing with goat cheese or any other fresh soft cheese. I like pulled-apart chicken breasts for protein, or even pieces of grilled lamb or bison.
