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.
