¼ cup tahini, ¼ cup lemon juice
Add the garlic, dijon mustard, salt, capers, brining juice, salt, black pepper, and nutritional yeast, if using. Stir well to incorporate.
2 cloves garlic, 3 teaspoons dijon mustard, 1-2 tablespoons capers, 1 tablespoon capers brining juice, ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, 1-2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
Add the water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing as you go, to thin the dressing out to your desired consistency. Feel free to use more or less depending on your preference and the thickness of your tahini.
2 tablespoons water

Notes

Note: Make sure your tahini is well-mixed before using since tahini tends to separate much like natural nut butters.

Each serving is about 2 tablespoons.
