2 servings
For the dip
- ½ cup tahini
- 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice (from about 1 lemon)
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp water, plus more to thin
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
- 1 small garlic clove, finely grated
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- ¼ tsp salt
Chef's tipSeason to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
For the snack box
- 1 large english cucumber, cut into spears
- 2 medium carrots, cut into sticks
- 1 cup snap peas, trimmed
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- 1
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, and 2 tbsp water until smooth and combined — the mixture will seize and thicken at first, then loosen as you continue whisking.

Whisk in the turmeric, grated ginger, grated garlic, black pepper, and salt until evenly incorporated. Add water 1 tsp at a time, whisking after each addition, until the dip is pourable but still thick enough to coat a spoon.
