Instructions

  1. Whisk together. Add the tahini, water, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and cumin to a mixing bowl. Then whisk together until it's creamy. It may look a bit separated at first, but keep whisking until it's creamy. Alternatively, you could add all of the ingredients to a food processor and blend together.
  2. Taste it. Taste the tahini sauce and adjust any flavors as desired to your liking, before serving.

Notes

  • If you use store-bought tahini, I recommend an organic brand like Kevala.
  • But don't forget that it's easy to make tahini at home, especially if you have a Vitamix blender. Check out my tahini recipe and video for more information.
