Best Tahini Recipe - Perfect for Drizzling and Dipping
The best tahini recipe is creamy, smooth, and delicious! With the right combination of tahini, garlic, and fresh lemon juice, you'll be ready to drizzle this on just about anything!
Servings 16 tablespoons
Ingredients
- ½ cup tahini
- 6 tablespoons water
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice strained
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon cumin optional
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, add the tahini (paste). Add the lemon juice, water, garlic, and salt to the tahini.
- Mix together with a whisk until well combined (about 2 minutes). Whisk until the sauce lightens in color and the consistency is smooth. Enjoy!
Notes
This sauce is smooth, except for the little bits of garlic throughout. I, personally, don't mind the minced garlic bits in the sauce.
But, if you prefer an ultra-smooth sauce with no garlic bits, you can use an immersion blender to blend the sauce. Note: This, in turn, may make the sauce thicker so you will have to adjust the consistency (and taste) by adding more water, salt, and lemon juice.
