Peel and mince the garlic clove finely.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the tahini and fresh lemon juice. Whisk them together until the mixture thickens.
Gradually add the water while continuing to whisk. This will help achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
Slowly drizzle in the extra-virgin olive oil while whisking constantly to emulsify the dressing.
Add the minced garlic, sea salt, and ground black pepper to the mixture. Whisk until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if necessary by adding more salt or lemon juice to suit your preference.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week. Shake well before each use.
