Instruction

  • Roll the whole lemon on its side with the palm of your hand while pressing it into the cutting board. Cut in half and squeeze out the juice. You will need 3 tablespoons for this recipe.
  • Chop garlic until roughly minced. Sprinkle with salt and then smash with the side of the knife, and chop the mixture until it becomes a paste. Scrape into a blender or jar of an immersion blender.
  • Add in tahini, water, lemon, oil and honey (if using.) Puree until smooth.
  • If dressing is too thick, add one tablespoon water and blend to thin. Continue one tablespoon as a time as necessary to achieve desired consistency.
