⅓ Cup Creamy Tahini, 2 tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice, 2 teaspoon Dijon Mustard, 2 teaspoon Finely Chopped Capers, 1 Medium Clove of Garlic, grated on a rasp grater, ½ teaspoon Coarsely Ground Black Pepper, ¼ teaspoon Kosher Salt
Add the water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until well combine between each addition. The dressing should have lightened in color and be super creamy.
4 tablespoon Cold Water
Add the vegan parmesan cheese and mix until combined. Serve as desired or transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
3 tablespoon Non-Dairy Grated Parmesan Cheese

Notes

Be sure to grab capers in brine, not capers in salt!

Grate the garlic on a rasp grater like this Microplane.

My favorite vegan parmesan cheese is by Follow Your Heart.

Use less water for a thicker dip and more water for a thinner dressing!

The dressing will thicken as it sits in the refrigerator, so you may need to add a teaspoon or 2 of water to loosen it up a bit.
