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.
