Step 1

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 2

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 3

Add the remaining ingredients to the jar – lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, pepper and whisk until creamy and smooth.

Step 4

Taste and adjust salt and lemon to your liking.

Step 5

Feel free to add any of the optional additions, see notes.

Step 6

Store in the fridge for 5-7 days- it will thicken up slightly.
