RECIPE

The perfect Tahini Sauce does not exist. What does exist, is the perfect Tahini Sauce for you.
For 1 serving, 1 part = 1 tablespoon.
Total Time 5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 3 parts tahini (100% sesame paste)
  • 2 parts lemon juice
  • 2 parts water
  • pinch of salt (to taste)
  • garlic (optional)

Instructions

  • Add all of the ingredients to a bowl and mix for 1-2 minutes. The texture will drastically change, so keep on mixing.
  • To customize your sauce, check out the "Recipe Development" section of this page.

Notes

Texture

  • Not everybody likes their sauce's consistency the same way. Some prefer a thick sauce, others a looser one. Adjust to your liking.
  • The sauce will thicken as it sits in the fridge, so don't hesitate adding more water the next day.
  • Different tahini brands will result in different textures.

Troubleshooting

  • Sauce too thick? Add a mixture of water and lemon juice. Taste as you go.
  • Sauce too thin? Add tahini, but you might need to readjust the acidity afterwards.
  • Sauce too salty? Make more of the sauce but without adding salt.
