Step 1

In a small bowl, stir together the tahini, lemon juice, water, garlic, and salt.

Step 2

Season to taste. If you find the tahini sauce too bitter, add ¼ to ½ teaspoon maple syrup or honey to balance the flavor.

Step 3

If it’s too sharp, add ½ to 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil to mellow the flavor.

Step 4

If it's too thick, add water, as needed, to reach your desired consistency.

Step 5

See the blog post about for the turmeric, beet, and green tahini sauce variations.
