- 1
Place the tahini paste, lemon juice, crushed garlic, and salt in a medium bowl.
💡 You can also use a small food processor or blender to combine these ingredients.
- 2
Whisk the mixture vigorously with a whisk or fork until it becomes a smooth, thick paste.
💡 Crushing the garlic instead of mincing it helps mellow out the pungent flavor.
- 3
Slowly add water to the mixture, whisking until the desired consistency is reached.
💡 Keep it thick for a dip, or add more water for a thinner sauce to pour over food.
- 4
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more lemon juice, salt, or water as needed.
💡 The water will also brighten the color of the sauce.
Tips
- Crushing garlic instead of mincing it helps prevent a sharp, pungent taste.
- The consistency can be adjusted: thicker for a dip, thinner for a drizzle.
- Freshly juiced lemon juice makes a significant difference in flavor.
