Ingredients

6 servings

¾ cup tahini (well-stirred)
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 small garlic clove, minced
½ tsp fine salt
½ tsp ground cumin
4–6 tbsp ice water
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling

For serving

¼ tsp smoked paprika (optional)
2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Add the tahini, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and cumin to a food processor. Process for about 1 minute, until the mixture looks thick and slightly pale.
2
With the processor running, drizzle in the ice water 1 tablespoon at a time, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed, until the dip is smooth, light, and fluffy — it should hold a soft peak when a spoon is lifted through it. This typically takes 4–6 tablespoons of water.
