Serves: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Water as needed for consistency
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond butter and tahini. Use a whisk or spatula to blend the two ingredients until they are smooth and well incorporated.
- Add the honey to the almond butter and tahini mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure the honey is completely mixed in and creates a uniform consistency.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice into the mixture. The acid will help brighten the flavors and add a slight tanginess to the dip.
- If the mixture appears too thick, gradually add water, one teaspoon at a time, whisking continuously. The goal is to achieve a creamy, smooth dip that is easily spreadable but not too runny.
- Taste the dip and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or the tanginess by adding more lemon juice according to your preference.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. For best flavor, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving.
- Serve with fresh vegetable sticks, apple slices, graham crackers, or use as a spread on toast.
- Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Stir well before serving again.
Tips
- Quality Matters: Use high-quality, creamy almond butter and tahini for the best flavor and smoothest texture.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Let your almond butter, tahini, and honey sit at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Whisk Technique: Use a whisk or electric mixer for the smoothest, lump-free consistency.
- Customize Your Consistency: Add water gradually to achieve your perfect dip thickness.
- Flavor Boosters: Experiment with a pinch of cinnamon, a dash of vanilla extract, or a sprinkle of sea salt to elevate the flavor.
- Chill Factor: While delicious immediately, the dip's flavors will meld beautifully if refrigerated for 30 minutes before serving.
- Storage Hack: If the dip thickens in the refrigerator, simply whisk in a little water to restore its creamy texture.
