  1. Stir Tahini very well (the oil tends to rise to the top).
  2. Crush GARLIC, slice and chop very fine.
  3. Mix All Ingredients thoroughly. Use a blender or mini-processor if you like, but I find that a lot more trouble than it's worth. I just chop the garlic very fine and stir the dressing well.
NOTES:
  1. Tahini:   is a paste made from lightly toasted sesame seeds and available in any market serving a Middle Eastern community. See my Sesame Page for details.
  2. U.S. measure: t=teaspoon, T=Tablespoon, c=cup, qt=quart, oz=ounce, #=pound, cl=clove in=inch
