Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup tahini paste
  • 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced into a paste
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 4 tbsp ice-cold water

Instructions:

  1. In a small mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup tahini paste, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1/4 tsp fine sea salt; whisk until the mixture forms a thick, uniform paste.
  2. Stir in 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice and whisk until the mixture thickens significantly.
  3. Slowly stream in 4 tbsp ice-cold water one tablespoon at a time while whisking constantly until the sauce transforms into a pale, creamy, and pourable consistency.
  4. Taste the sauce; add one more teaspoon of water if it is too heavy, or an extra squeeze of lemon if more brightness is needed.
