Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup tahini
- 0.25 cup lemon juice
- 0.5 cup water
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 medium garlic clove, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and ground cumin.
Begin to stir the mixture using a whisk or a fork. The mixture might initially seize up and become thick, but this is normal.
Gradually add the water, about a tablespoon at a time, whisking continuously to incorporate it into the tahini mixture. As you add more water, the dressing will become smoother and creamier.
Once the water is fully incorporated and the dressing is smooth, add the extra-virgin olive oil. Whisk the dressing until the olive oil is emulsified and the dressing is creamy.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning as necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice if desired.
Transfer the dressing to a clean jar or bottle and store it in the refrigerator. Shake or stir well before each use.
