  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Dressing Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup tahini
  • 3/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh dill
  • 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh tarragon
  • 3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp. onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper
  • 1 anchovy fillet (optional)
  • 1/3 cup water

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add all the ingredients—including tahini, fresh herbs, olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, seasonings, anchovy (if using), and water—into a blender or use an immersion blender.
  2. Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture until it becomes creamy and smooth with visible green specks of herbs throughout. Add more water gradually if you prefer a thinner consistency.
  3. Taste and Adjust Seasoning: Sample the dressing and adjust salt or black pepper according to your preference to balance the flavors perfectly.
  4. Store Properly: Transfer the dressing into an airtight container or jar and refrigerate. Use within 1 week for optimal freshness and flavor.

Notes

  • This dressing can be used as a salad dressing, dip, or sauce for vegetables and grains.
  • The anchovy fillet is optional but adds a depth of umami flavor; omit for a vegetarian version.
  • Adjust water quantity to achieve your preferred dressing thickness.
  • Store in the refrigerator and use within a week to maintain freshness.
  • If you don’t have fresh herbs, you can substitute with roughly 1 tablespoon each of dried herbs, but fresh provides the best flavor.
