Ingredients:

  • ½ cup (120ml) tahini (sesame seed paste)
  • ¼ cup (60ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about 2 lemons)
  • 2-3 tablespoons (30-45ml) cold water (more as needed)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (about 1 teaspoon)
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)

Instructions:

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, and minced garlic.
  2. Gradually add the water, one tablespoon at a time, whisking continuously until the dressing thickens and becomes smooth and creamy.
  3. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking, until fully incorporated.
  4. Add salt and pepper to taste, whisking to combine. Adjust seasoning as needed, adding more lemon juice for tanginess or water for a thinner consistency.
  5. Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If the dressing thickens in the refrigerator, add a tablespoon or two of water and whisk well before serving.
