I first came up with this recipe when I was looking for a healthy and flavorful dressing for my salads. I had some tahini on hand, and I thought it would be a great base for a dressing. I added some lemon juice, maple syrup, and water, and I whisked it all together until it was smooth. The result was a delicious and versatile dressing that I've been using ever since.
