Ingredients

2 tbsp tahini

¼ cup orange juice (preferably freshly squeezed)

2 tbsp sherry vinegar (or red wine vinegar)

2 tbsp maple syrup (or date paste, see Chef’s Notes)

¾ tsp ground ginger

¾ tsp ground tumeric

¼ tsp salt (optional)

¼ tsp ground black pepper (optional, but optimizes turmeric’s function)

Directions

Add all ingredients to a medium bowl and whisk until smooth. Alternatively, you can add the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.

Taste for additional flavors of your choice (more turmeric for earthiness, more ginger for spice, or more tahini for a nutty flavor).

Chef's Notes

Substitutions
Instead of powdered ginger and turmeric, use about ¾ tablespoons of freshly grated ginger and turmeric.

In place of tahini, try almond butter (you may need to add water for a thinner consistency depending on the thickness of the almond butter).

Sugar-free
Use date paste in place of maple syrup.

Storage
Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 5–7 days.
