In a bowl, blender, or mason jar, combine the lemon juice and zest. Add the olive oil, tahini, honey or maple syrup, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Optional: Add the fresh dill for an additional burst of flavor.

If using a bowl, whisk the ingredients together vigorously until well combined. If using a blender, blend on medium speed until smooth and creamy. If using a mason jar, seal the jar tightly and shake vigorously until the ingredients are fully mixed. Gradually add the cold water while continuing to whisk, blend, or shake the mixture. This will help emulsify the dressing and achieve a smooth consistency. Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning or sweetness according to your preference. Once thoroughly mixed, the lemon tahini dressing is ready to be enjoyed! Store any leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator. With these simple steps, you'll have a creamy and flavorful lemon tahini dressing to elevate your salads and dishes. Enjoy!
