Think of this as an all-purpose dressing, perfect for green salads or whole-grain salads, roasted vegetables or roasted meats. It has citrusy pep and a nice garlic follow-through. We like to grate the garlic on a Microplane-style grater so that it becomes a smooth paste—no crunchy bits but all the pungent flavor.
How to Make It
Place tahini in a medium bowl. Stir in water, fresh lemon juice, extra-virgin olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, and grated garlic clove. Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 1 week.
