Why This Recipe Works

This bright, garlicky sauce relies on the emulsion of water and sesame paste to achieve its silky texture. It is a versatile staple that works just as well as a dip for pita as it does a dressing for roasted vegetables.


Instructions

1

Combine the tahini, water, lemon juice, and garlic in a food processor.

2

Process until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, about 20 seconds.

3

Season with salt to taste and pulse once more to incorporate. Serve at room temperature, when the sauce is most pourable.
