Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons tahini (sesame seed paste)
- 3 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cumin
- 0.125 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon water (if needed for consistency)
- 1 pinch salt (optional, for older children)
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the tahini and Greek yogurt. Stir until smooth and well combined.
Add the fresh lemon juice, olive oil, and honey (or maple syrup) to the bowl. Mix thoroughly.
Sprinkle in the ground cumin and garlic powder. Stir well to incorporate the spices evenly.
If the mixture is too thick for your desired consistency, gradually add water, one teaspoon at a time, until the dip reaches a smooth, spreadable texture.
Taste the dip and add a tiny pinch of salt, if desired, for older children. Skip this step for toddlers under 1 year old to ensure low sodium intake.
Serve immediately with toddler-friendly veggie sticks (such as cucumber, carrot, or bell pepper), as a spread on whole-grain bread, or as desired.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
