Julie's version of Trader Joe's Tahini Dressing or a dipping sauce for apples or carrots

This is a slight variation on the Tahini Salad Dressing found at the Trader Joe's website. The end result is thick enough to be used as a dipping sauce for apples or carrots. Quick to make, it's a nice alternative to Sunflower Seed Olive Oil Dressing. 

 
¼ cup tahini (sesame seed paste)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tsp minced garlic
¼ cup water

Add tahini, lemon juice, garlic to a small bowl. Combine. Mix water ½ tablespoon at a time until desired consistency.

Add all ingredients to a small bowl. Whisk with a fork until combined.

Serve.

Refrigerate unused portion in an airtight container.
