Title: Salata tahina (tahini salad)
 Categories: Egyptian, Sauces, Vegetarian, Vegan
      Yield: 1 servings
 
      2    Garlic cloves
           Salt
    3/4 c  Tahini
      1 tb White vinegar
      1    Lemon; juiced
    1/2 c  -Water
    1/2 ts Ground cumin
    1/2 c  Chopped parsley
 
  Crush garlic cloves with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  
  Place tahini in mixing bowl and beat well.  This preliminary beating
  reduces the strong flavour of the tahini.
  
  Beat in garlic and vinegar.  Gradually add lemon juice alternately
  with water.  To make a cream salad of good consistency add enough
  lemon juice to make the tahini very thick before adding water.  This
  way you have more scope in adjusting the flavour and consistency of
  the sauce.
  
  Add salt to taste, and more lemon juice if a sharper sauce is
  required. Blend in cumin and parsley and chill until required.  Serve
  as a mazza or as directed in recipes.
  
  Makes about 1 3/4 cups
