• Adjust Consistency: Gradually add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, while whisking until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. For a thicker sauce, use less water; for a thinner, more pourable sauce, add more water.
• Season and Serve: Season with coarse salt to taste. Serve the tahini sauce immediately, or refrigerate for later use. Stir well before serving if it thickens after refrigeration.
