This tahini grooming is varied and goes with a sweeping variety of salad ingredients. I listed a lot of those ingredients below to work you astuteness your own salad. The tahini mixture will create it all together.

- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons ice-cold water, more as needed
INSTRUCTIONS
