In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, grated garlic, za'atar, cumin, turmeric, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Add water 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking after each addition, until the dressing is pourable and coats the back of a spoon — about the consistency of a thick vinaigrette.
