Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup tahini
- 0.25 cup lemon juice
- 0.5 cup water
- 1 medium garlic clove, minced
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the tahini and lemon juice. Stir the mixture together; it will thicken.
Slowly add the water to the tahini-lemon mixture, stirring constantly. This will help to thin out the sauce to your desired consistency. If the sauce is too thick, add additional water, a tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Add minced garlic, extra-virgin olive oil, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning to your liking, adding more salt or lemon juice if necessary.
Transfer the sauce to a serving container and drizzle over your favorite Whole30 meals or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
