Lebanese Tahini Sauce
Description
Lebanese Tahini Sauce is made by combining tahini paste with fresh lemon juice, pressed garlic, and salt, whisked together until a thick paste forms. Gradually adding water thins the mixture to a smooth, pourable consistency that can be adjusted to taste by varying lemon juice and salt levels.
The sauce offers a creamy and tangy profile with a mild garlic undertone. It is often served alongside grilled meats, vegetables, or as a salad dressing and dip. The balance between lemon acidity and tahini richness defines its characteristic flavor.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to two weeks in the refrigerator or freeze for three months, making it convenient to have on hand for various meals.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup tahini paste
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- 2 garlic pressed or grated, cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Place the tahini paste in a small bowl. Add the lemon juice, garlic and salt. Use a fork or whisk to combine the ingredients until completely combined and they form a thick paste.
- Slowly add water to the mixture and whisk until completely combined, smooth with a pourable texture.
- Taste and adjust by adding more lemon juice, salt or water.
Notes
- Keep leftovers refrigerated in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
- The sauce freezes well for up to three months for extended storage.
