Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Tahini
- 0.25 cup Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the tahini, fresh lemon juice, and water. Whisk together until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
Step 2
Add the minced garlic, chopped parsley, and chopped dill to the bowl. Stir well to incorporate the herbs evenly into the tahini base.
Step 3
Pour in the olive oil and add the honey for a touch of sweetness. Mix thoroughly until the oil is well blended, giving the tahini an extra smooth texture.
Step 4
Season the tahini with the salt and black pepper, adjusting the amount according to your taste preference. Stir everything together until all ingredients are well combined.
Step 5
Transfer the lemon herb tahini to a serving bowl or a sealable container if preparing in advance. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Step 6
The tahini can be served immediately as a salad dressing or a dip. For a more intense herb flavor, let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Step 7
Store any leftover tahini in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, and stir well before each use.
