Tool

• Bowl

• Whisk

• Immersion blender or blender (optional)

Ingredients

• ½ cup tahini

• ⅓ cup fresh lemon juice

• ¼ cup water

• 2 small garlic cloves, grated

• ½ teaspoon salt

Direction

Mix

• In a medium bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, water, garlic, and salt.

• The tahini will seize and thicken at first — keep whisking until it becomes smooth and silky.

Adjust

• Add more water for a thinner sauce.

• Add more lemon juice or salt to taste.

Notes

• Too tangy? Add a pinch of salt or 1 teaspoon olive oil.

• Bitter? Add ½ teaspoon maple syrup or honey.

• Too thick? Add water 1 teaspoon at a time until desired consistency.

• Makes about 1¼ cups (3–4 tablespoons per serving).
