Prep time: 5 minutes
Yields: 4 serves

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup water
• 2 TBS raw tahini
• 2 TBS lemon juice
• 1 tsp garlic, minced (optional)
• 2 tsp finely chopped parsley (garnish)

Directions:

1. Whisk all ingredients together in a medium sized bowl until smooth and creamy.
2. Optional: Stir in 2 tsp finely chopped parsley till well combined, or garnish with fresh parsley and a pinch of cayenne pepper on top!

Notes:

• Makes 3/4 cup
• If mixture is too thick, slowly add more water until it reaches the preferred consistency.
• If mixture is too thin, add a bit more tahini paste.
• If using tahini for falafel or a meat dish, keep it thick and creamy. As a condiment for salads, a more liquid sauce is usually preferred.
• Taste often during the whisking process; add more lemon juice or tahini, if desired.
