Step 1
Mince the garlic cloves finely or use a microplane to create a paste.
Step 2
Whisk tahini, minced garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
Step 3
Slowly add water (start with 3 tbsp) while whisking until the sauce reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.
Step 4
Taste and adjust: add more lemon for tang, more garlic for punch, or more salt to taste.
Step 5
Transfer to a shallow serving bowl. Warm the bread if desired, then serve alongside the sauce and tomato slices.
