Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons tahini
• 2 tablespoons white miso paste
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 1 clove garlic clove, minced
• 4 tablespoons warm water
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon scallions (optional, finely chopped for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the tahini, white miso paste, lemon juice, maple syrup, soy sauce (or tamari), and minced garlic.

Step 2

Using a whisk or fork, mix the ingredients together until a thick paste forms.

Step 3

Gradually add the warm water, one tablespoon at a time, whisking well after each addition. Continue until the dip reaches your desired consistency (smooth and slightly pourable).

Step 4

Taste the dip and adjust seasoning, if necessary. You can add a bit more lemon juice for acidity, maple syrup for sweetness, or soy sauce for saltiness.

Step 5

Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped scallions, if desired.

Step 6

Serve immediately with fresh vegetables, crackers, or bread, or refrigerate for up to 3 days in an airtight container. Stir well before serving if refrigerated.
