How to make the tahini dressing

You can either make this tahini sauce in a mixing bowl or a small food processor/blender.

  • Start by peeling your garlic and mince it. You can use a small grater to speed up the process a little.
  • In a small mixing bowl, add tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, and garlic. Then using a small whisk or a fork, stir to combine.
  • It will seize up at first but, the water will loosen up the dressing.
  • Finally, add water and whisk until the tahini dressing is smooth.

If you are using a food processor, add all your ingredients at once, and blend until the sauce becomes smooth and reaches your desired consistency.

  • Taste test for seasoning, adjust and serve!
