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)

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, combine the tahini and Greek yogurt. Stir until smooth and well combined.

Step 2

Add the fresh lemon juice, olive oil, and honey (or maple syrup) to the bowl. Mix thoroughly.

Step 3

Sprinkle in the ground cumin and garlic powder. Stir well to incorporate the spices evenly.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Serve immediately with toddler-friendly veggie sticks (such as cucumber, carrot, or bell pepper), as a spread on whole-grain bread, or as desired.

Step 7

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
