half-pint mason jar with lid
1/4 apple cider vinegar

The easiest way to do this is to measure out the liquids directly into the jar, oil, vinegar then tahini. add the minced onion and cilantro, and optional squeeze of citrus. cap it with a lid and shake the holy hell out of it, give it a taste and then season w/ salt and pepper to your liking. keep it in the refrigerator and shake before using.
