Combine the minced garlic and lemon juice in a bowl and let sit for 5 minutes to neutralize the raw garlic flavor.

In a separate mixing bowl, add the tahini, salt, pepper, and maple syrup.

Whisk the lemon-garlic mixture into the tahini paste; the mixture will initially seize and become thick.

Gradually whisk in the warm water one tablespoon at a time until the dressing achieves a smooth, pourable consistency.

Store in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
