  • 3/4 cup tahini
  • 2 cloves  garlic
  • 1/2 cup parsley mint, or a combination of the two

  1. Mince the garlic cloves and roughly chop the herbs.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add the tahini, garlic, herbs, yogurt, lemon juice and zest, pomegranate molasses, and some salt and pepper. Stir well as you slowly add the water.
