3 tbsp fresh lemon juice (from about 1 large lemon)
1 small garlic clove, finely grated or minced
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
3–4 tbsp cold water, plus more as needed
½ tsp ground cumin
¼ tsp salt, plus more to taste
Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
¼ tsp lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

1
In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and cumin until combined — the mixture will seize and look thick and paste-like at first.
2
Drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously until incorporated.
