1/4 c tahini (Middle Eastern sesame paste)
1/4 c water
2 1/2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
1 tbsp honey
1/2 tsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cayenne or red pepper
Combine all ingredients in a food processor or blender until smooth.
If dressing seems too thick, blend in additional water, a teaspoon at a time, until desired consistency. Store in refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature to serve.
