It comes together in two minutes with six simple ingredients and goes on absolutely everything — salads, grain bowls, roasted vegetables, as a dip, drizzled over falafel, honestly the list is endless.

Make it once and it will become a permanent fixture in your fridge. You have been warned.

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp Mieland Manuka Honey
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1.5 tbsp tahini
  • Pinch of garlic powder

  • Splash of water to thin if needed

Method

  • Add the tahini, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt and black pepper to a small bowl
  • Drizzle in the Mieland Manuka Honey and whisk everything together until smooth and well combined

  • Taste and adjust seasoning if needed
  • Drizzle generously over your favourite salad or bowl and serve immediately
  • Store any leftover dressing in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 4 days — give it a good stir before each use
