Ingredients
Volumes are approximate. For baking, use a scale; Metric keeps the specified gram weights.
Let’s make it
- Whisk tahini, lemon juice, garlic and salt in a bowl. It may become stiff at first.
- Whisk in the 2.12 oz water a little at a time until smooth. Add up to 0.705 oz more water for a pourable sauce.
- Divide into 6 equal portions, roughly 1.06 oz–1.16 oz each. No serving vegetables or bread are included. Refrigerate promptly in a shallow covered container at 40°F (4°C) or colder, within 2 hours or within 1 hour above 90°F (32°C). Use within 3–4 days. The sauce thickens when cold; stir in a small splash of water before serving.

Calculation notes & sources
Estimated from listed ingredient amounts and identified food-composition profiles, divided by the stated number of servings. Not laboratory analysis or kitchen testing. The ingredient-sum method uses raw or cooked food profiles matching the ingredient state. Moisture gain/loss does not change the stated serving count. No general cooking/fermentation nutrient-retention factors are applied. Unless a discard/absorption blocker is listed, all measured pan fats and sauces are assumed consumed. Actual amounts left in pans, on utensils or during cooking can reduce intake. Optional additions are excluded when noted. Calories are kcal. Protein, total carbohydrate, total fat and total sugar are grams. Total carbohydrate includes fiber; these are not net carbs. No %DV or FDA-compliance claim. Null means unavailable, never zero. Sodium and fiber are omitted because retention, brands, rinsing and missing source rows make them less reliable here.
