Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup tahini
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 5 tablespoons cold water plus more as needed
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Place all of the ingredients (tahini, lemon juice, cold water, extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, and salt) into a food processor or blender.
  • Blend until the garlic is completely minced, and the sauce is fully combined and smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add more cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
  • Transfer the sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use.

Notes

  • The tahini sauce  may thickens as it rests, especially after refrigeration. Before serving, you may need to stir in a little extra cold water to reach your preferred consistency.
  • Enjoy within 1 week for the best quality.
