Preparation
Step 1
Note
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Add the remaining ingredients to the jar – lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, pepper and whisk until creamy and smooth.
Step 5
Taste and adjust salt and lemon to your liking.
Step 6
Feel free to add any of the optional additions, see notes.
Step 7
Store in the fridge for 5-7 days- it will thicken up slightly.
Step 8
