A creamy, nourishing sauce made by whisking tahini with lemon, garlic, and water. The Middle Eastern classic accompaniment to falafel, fried vegetables, and salads, this vegan sauce comes together in minutes.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Combine the tahini

2 min

Whisk the tahini, lemon juice, crushed garlic, and salt in a bowl; the mixture will thicken at first.

2

Thin with water

2 min

Add water little by little, whisking each time, until you reach a smooth, pourable consistency. Note: Add the water spoon by spoon, not all at once.

3

Finish

1 min

Stir in the optional cumin. The sauce is ready to use with falafel, vegetables, and salads.

Reminder

Important: When you add water to tahini, it first thickens and clumps up — don't worry; keep whisking and adding water little by little, and it will come to a smooth, flowing consistency. Adjust the amount of lemon to your taste. Contains sesame (tahini).

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

A pinch of cumin or finely chopped parsley adds a pleasant aroma to plain tahini sauce; if you're using it as a salad dressing, thin it out with a bit more water.
