Description

This Tahini Sauce is tangy, nutty, creamy, and absolutely delicious. Drizzle it over falafel, veggies, chickpeas, tacos...or simply use it to dip some fresh pita or toasted sourdough bread! It’s so good you may even consider eating it with a spoon straight out of the bowl!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup tahini
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup cold water

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl add tahini, lemon and salt and mix well with a fork. The tahini will thicken and will become like a thick paste. At this point, add water 1 tablespoon at a time. Mixing well after adding each tablespoon. Add water until you reach the desired consistency. If making the tahini sauce ahead, note that it will thicken in the fridge and you may have to add a little more water to loosen it.
