Notes
This dressing is best stored in a sealable jar in the fridge. Thanks to the lemon juice, the basic, sweet and miso variations of this dressing should last for about a week.
The herby lemon tahini dressing should be enjoy more quickly as the fresh herbs may go bad.
As this dressing sits in the fridge, it will most likely thicken up a little bit.
To thin it out before using, simply stir in a little water until it reaches your desired consistency.
