Tahini is a great investment for vegans. The key in my opinion to a delicious tahini dish is plenty of lemon or lime juice.
Homemade hummus is simple and is amazing when it's fresh. Refrigeration of some for a bag lunch is fine, but frankly right after it's made it tastes even better.
Tahini Dressing
Equal parts tahini and water stirred in a bowl.
For every three tablespoons of tahini, squeeze in one half of a large lemon or two small limes.
I find it easiest to add half to one tablespoon of diced garlic that comes in a jar, but you can also dice or chop your own cloves to taste.
Add plenty of salt, to taste.
That's it! Add fresh or dried dill if desired.
Hummus
For the hummus, mash drained chickpeas in a bowl.
Add a generous splash of olive oil and mash again.
Then, all you have to do is add the tahini dressing. For an entire can of chickpeas, use a dressing based on five to six tablespoons of tahini.
You can use a food processor or blender for smooth creamy hummus but I like mine with bits of mashed chickpeas.
