Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Tahini
- 0.25 cup Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the tahini, fresh lemon juice, and water. Whisk together until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
Add the minced garlic, chopped parsley, and chopped dill to the bowl. Stir well to incorporate the herbs evenly into the tahini base.
Pour in the olive oil and add the honey for a touch of sweetness. Mix thoroughly until the oil is well blended, giving the tahini an extra smooth texture.
Season the tahini with the salt and black pepper, adjusting the amount according to your taste preference. Stir everything together until all ingredients are well combined.
Transfer the lemon herb tahini to a serving bowl or a sealable container if preparing in advance. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
The tahini can be served immediately as a salad dressing or a dip. For a more intense herb flavor, let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Store any leftover tahini in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, and stir well before each use.
