Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 ml Tahini
- 60 ml Lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic
- 30 ml Olive oil
- 60 ml Cold water
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 pinch Paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and finely mince the garlic clove or use a garlic press for a smoother consistency.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, cumin powder, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk the mixture together until it begins to thicken. This is normal as the lemon juice reacts with the tahini.
Slowly add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, whisking continuously, until the dressing reaches your desired consistency. You may not need all 60 ml of water, or you can add more for a thinner consistency.
Taste and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt, lemon juice, or cumin, if needed.
For a finishing touch, sprinkle a pinch of paprika on top if desired.
Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Stir before using as separation may occur.
