This is a normal chemical reaction! When you first add liquid (lemon juice or water) to tahini, it will seize and thicken. Keep adding cold water slowly and continue whisking or blending, and it will transform into a smooth, creamy sauce.
Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. It may thicken when chilled, so just stir in a little water to thin it out before serving.
Absolutely! Fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro, or dill are wonderful additions. Blend them in with the other ingredients for a fresh, herby flavor.
