Notes

Storage tips: transfer the sauce to an airtight container and keep it in the fridge for up to 4 days. The sauce might thicken while cooling down, so make sure to give it a good whisk before serving and add a splash of water if necessary.
Different brands of tahini have different consistency. Some tahini are thin and pourable and others are thicker, like peanut butter. So, simply adjust the texture of your sauce with more or less water as needed.
