Step 1
Mince garlic finely. Whisk tahini and lemon juice together in a bowl until combined.
Step 2
Add garlic and salt. Whisk vigorously for 30 seconds until the mixture lightens and becomes slightly thick.
Step 3
Drizzle ice water in slowly while whisking constantly. The sauce will seize, then suddenly turn silky and pale.
Step 4
Taste and adjust salt or lemon juice. Drizzle olive oil over the top.
Step 5
Serve immediately as a dip or drizzle over roasted vegetables, grilled chicken, or warm pita.
