Ingredients
- ½ cup tahini
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 whole lemon, juiced
- ¼ tsp cumin
- ¼ cup water, plus more to thin
- 1 set sliced bread, tomatoes, and arugula for serving
Instructions
- 1
Whisk tahini, minced garlic, and cumin together in a bowl until combined.
- 2
Squeeze in lemon juice and stir — the mixture will seize and look grainy.
- 3
Pour in cold water a little at a time, whisking constantly, until the sauce turns creamy and pourable.
- 4
Taste and add salt and pepper. Thin with more water if needed — it should be pourable but still coat a spoon.
- 5
Drizzle sauce onto a plate. Arrange warm bread, sliced tomatoes, and fresh arugula around it.
