Ingredients

½ cup tahini
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, Grade A
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons Dijon-style country mustard
¼ teaspoon kosher salt, to taste or ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
⅓ cup ice water

Instructions

Make sure the tahini is well-mixed by stirring it.
Measure the water and add a couple of ice cubes.
Whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, mustard, and salt. It will be very thick. Once the lemon juice is added, the tahini mixture may seize and become stiff with a grainy texture. This is normal.
Gradually whisk in the cold water, adding only 2 - 3 tablespoons of water at a time. Whisk the water completely into the sauce before additional water. Add enough water to achieve the consistency you want.
Note: If the sauce becomes grainy, and the oil appears to separate back out of the tahini, continue to add water 1 tablespoon at a time until the sauce becomes creamy again. It's magical how it suddenly shifts!
