Step 1
Whisk tahini, minced garlic, and cumin together in a bowl until combined.
Step 2
Squeeze in lemon juice and stir — the mixture will seize and look grainy.
Step 3
Pour in cold water a little at a time, whisking constantly, until the sauce turns creamy and pourable.
Step 4
Taste and add salt and pepper. Thin with more water if needed — it should be pourable but still coat a spoon.
Step 5
Drizzle sauce onto a plate. Arrange warm bread, sliced tomatoes, and fresh arugula around it.
