Categories     Dressing     Sauce

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/3 cup tahini
1 medium lemon, juiced ((1 medium lemon yields ~3 Tbsp or 45 ml))
1-2 Tbsp maple syrup ((or sub agave - or honey if not vegan))
1 pinch sea salt ((optional))
1 clove garlic ((minced // optional))
Water ((to thin // ~3-6 Tbsp or 45-90 ml as original recipe is written))

Steps:

  • To a medium mixing bowl, add tahini, lemon juice, and maple syrup. If adding salt and garlic, add now (optional).
  • Whisk to combine. Then slowly add water until creamy and pourable. The mixture may seize up and thicken at first, but continue adding water a little at a time and whisking until creamy and smooth.
  • Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more lemon juice for acidity, salt for saltiness, or maple syrup for sweetness.
  • Enjoy fresh, or store leftovers in the refrigerator up to 5 days (sometimes longer). This is delicious on things like Salads, Falafel, Fritters, Buddha Bowls, and more!

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup pearl barley
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup tahini, stirred
1/2 cup chopped scallions, white and green parts
1 small jalapeno, seeded and chopped
1 garlic clove
1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup chopped olives
1 cup sliced grape or sweet 100 tomatoes
2 tablespoons chopped drained capers
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Cook the barley in a medium pot in plenty of salted water until tender but still chewy, 20 to 30 minutes. Drain and cool.
  • In a food processor, combine the tahini, scallions, jalapeno, garlic, vinegar and oil. Season with salt and pepper. Process until you have a smooth, thick green dressing. If the mixture is too thick, add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water to thin to about the consistency of pancake batter.
  • Combine the vinaigrette and cooked barley and mix to thoroughly coat the barley. You may not use all the vinaigrette. Set up two serving bowls. Evenly divide the barley between the two bowls. Top each with the olives, tomatoes and capers. Season with a pinch more salt and garnish with the cilantro.
