Description
A creamy tahini sauce that’s perfect for salads, dips, or drizzles.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup tahini paste (stirred)
- ¼ –⅓ cup water (more to desired consistency)
- 1 – 2 tablespoons lemon juice (more to taste)
- 1 – 2 tablespoons olive oil (optional, feel free to leave it out if you prefer oil-free)
- 2 fresh garlic cloves (finely minced – grate it or use a garlic press)
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- If your tahini paste has separated, stir it in the jar with a fork before measuring. If it’s very cold, bring it to room temp to make stirring easier.
- Place tahini paste and water in a 2-cup mason jar or medium bowl and whisk until smooth. Once you start whisking, it may actually stiffen up—you can always thin it out with more water at the end if using as a dressing.
- Add the remaining ingredients to the jar – lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, pepper and whisk until creamy and smooth.
- Taste and adjust salt and lemon to your liking.
- Feel free to add any of the optional additions.
- Store in the fridge for 5-7 days—it will thicken up slightly.
Notes
- Adjust the water to reach your desired consistency.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, use less water.
- This sauce can be used as a dressing, dip, or spread.
