- 4 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice
- 4 minced garlic cloves

Note:
Hulled vs unhulled tahini nutrition
Unhulled tahini contains the husk and is much more nutrient dense but a little more bitter and stronger tasting. Hulled tahini has the seed husk taken away and loses some of the nutrient value but is still packed full of nutrients and healthy for you. Most people prefer the hulled tahini for the lighter flavour.
