Creamy Tahini Dressing

I like this dressing on the thinner side so I add closer to a ½ cup of water. It will depend on the thickness of your tahini as well. If you're using runny tahini you'll likely need about ¼ cup of water however mine runs on the thick pasty side so I add between ⅓ and ½ cup of water. I start with ⅓ cup and then add more as I blend it.
If this dressing tastes a bit too bitter, which can happen sometimes with tahini, add a drizzle or two of honey.
