Ingredients
– ΒΌ cup smooth, runny tahini
– 3 tablespoons water, plus more if needed
– 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
– 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
– 1 tablespoon maple syrup
– 1 teaspoon sesame oil
– 1 clove garlic, grated
– ΒΌ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
1-First, in a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, water, lemon juice, olive oil, maple syrup, sesame oil, garlic, and salt until everything is smooth and creamy. Donβt worry if it thickens up at first; just keep whisking, and it will loosen into a perfect drizzle! If itβs too thick, add more water in Β½ tablespoon increments until you get that ideal pourable consistency.
2-This process takes about 10 minutes total, with no fancy tools needed just your favorite bowl and whisk! Remember, you can tweak the flavors as you go, like adding more lemon juice for extra zing or a bit more salt if it needs balance. Once itβs ready, pop it in the fridge for 15 minutes to let the tastes meld, and youβre good to go!
