In a small bowl, stir together the tahini, lemon juice, water, garlic (finely grated preferred), and salt.
Season to taste.
If you find the tahini sauce too bitter, add ¼ to ½ teaspoon maple syrup or honey to balance the flavor.
If it’s too sharp, add ½ to 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil to mellow the flavor.
If it's too thick, add water, as needed, to reach your desired consistency.
