Fat: 7g

Carbohydrates: 2g

Protein: 2g

Fiber: 1g

Sugar: 1g

Sodium: 208mg

2⁄3 cup tahini

1⁄4 cup apple cider vinegar

1⁄3 cup soy sauce (low sodium)

2 teaspoons lemon juice

1 clove garlic

3⁄4 teaspoon sugar

1⁄3 cup olive oil

Process all the ingredients, except olive oil, together in a blender or food processor until blended.
With the blender or food processor on high speed, slowly add in the olive oil, blending for another full minute, allowing the oil to emulsify.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes before serving; dressing will thicken as it chills.

In Search of Tahini
Tahini is a sesame seed paste native to Middle Eastern cuisine with a thinner consistency and milder flavor than peanut butter. You’ll find a jarred or canned version in the ethnic foods aisle of large grocery stores, or a fresh version chilling next to the hummus if you’re lucky.
