Dressing with too strong lemon flavor

Question

Leftover from a recipe (3tsp tahini / 2tbs lemon juice / 1/3c water / 1/4c olive oil) I have enough to make a dressing and it tastes quite good except for the pronounced lemon. I will add garlic but what else to turn this into a dressing?

Late update to the results. In order to actually fix it and use I went with what I had so added 3 chopped cloves of garlic, about 4 green onions thinly sliced and 3 lengths of chives. It was really good and I was shocked at how much difference the vegetables made to it. Definitely a lesson learned.

Use foods that are neutral or basic (opposite of acidic) on pH scale:herbssome vegetables (esp potatoes, beets, mushrooms)yogurt and other dairyfats (avocado, more oil)
