This lemon-tahini dressing is so good that you’ll find yourself inventing new ways to use it again and again. Try it drizzled over my avocado toast, wraps, crispy tofu cubes, and of course served on salads. I love bold and tart salad dressings, so I use the lower end of the suggested oil amount. I recommend tasting and adjusting the amounts to your taste. You can even start with 7 tablespoons of lemon juice, and add more from there if you desire.

Directions:
- Add garlic clove(s) in a mini food processor and process until minced.
