Step-by-Step Instructions

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add tahini, the zest and juice of lemon, and toasted sesame oil. Whisk these ingredients together vigorously for about 1-2 minutes until they are fully blended into a smooth, creamy mixture.
Slowly pour in water while continuing to whisk. Keep whisking for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture becomes smooth and pourable.
Check consistency; if too thick, add another tablespoon of water and whisk for another minute to achieve desired pourable dressing.
Taste and season with salt and pepper, whisking to fully incorporate.
Transfer the dressing into an airtight container for storage, or serve immediately.
