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)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and finely mince the garlic clove or use a garlic press for a smoother consistency.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, cumin powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Whisk the mixture together until it begins to thicken. This is normal as the lemon juice reacts with the tahini.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Taste and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt, lemon juice, or cumin, if needed.

Step 6

For a finishing touch, sprinkle a pinch of paprika on top if desired.

Step 7

Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Stir before using as separation may occur.
