Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mince the garlic cloves finely or use a microplane to create a paste.

  2. Step 2

    Whisk tahini, minced garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.

  3. Step 3

    Slowly add water (start with 3 tbsp) while whisking until the sauce reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.

  4. Step 4

    Taste and adjust: add more lemon for tang, more garlic for punch, or more salt to taste.

  5. Step 5

    Transfer to a shallow serving bowl. Warm the bread if desired, then serve alongside the sauce and tomato slices.
