Instructions

  1. Whisk the tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, garlic, and ½ teaspoon of salt together in a medium bowl.

  2. Begin whisking in chilled water, about 1 tablespoon at a time, adding up to ½ cup total, until the mixture is creamy and just pourable (I typically add about ¼ cup).

  3. Taste-test and add additional salt if desired. Adjust any other seasonings to your liking.

  4. Serve.

Recipe Notes

Makes about 1 cup, but the exact amount will depend on how much water you add.
