Ingredients

• 1 cup tahini
• 0.25 cup lemon juice
• 0.5 cup water
• 1 medium garlic clove, minced
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the tahini and lemon juice. Stir the mixture together; it will thicken.

Step 2

Slowly add the water to the tahini-lemon mixture, stirring constantly. This will help to thin out the sauce to your desired consistency. If the sauce is too thick, add additional water, a tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 3

Add minced garlic, extra-virgin olive oil, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning to your liking, adding more salt or lemon juice if necessary.

Step 5

Transfer the sauce to a serving container and drizzle over your favorite Whole30 meals or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
