Description

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup tahini
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 1 large lemon)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 12 garlic cloves, minced

Additional Ingredients:

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup cold water
  • Salt to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, and ground cumin if using. The mixture will thicken initially.
  2. Adjust Consistency: Gradually whisk in cold water, a little at a time, until the sauce is smooth and pourable.
  3. Season and Serve: Season with salt to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl, garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to a week.

Notes

  • Use as a dressing for salads, a dip for veggies, or a drizzle for grain bowls and roasted vegetables.
  • Adjust garlic and lemon to taste for more zing.
