What is Tahini Sauce?
Tahini sauce is a creamy seasame based sauce that is popular in the Mediterranian and Middle Eastern cuisines. It’s commonly used on falafels, vegetables, as a salad dressing or on some pita bread. The flavor is a bit nutty, from the tahini paste that is used, but it also has a slight citrus flavor from the lemon. The end result is a deliciously creamy sauce that is meant for dipping! It is similar in it’s uses to hummus! I love it when I can whip up something that elevates any recipe in only a few minutes. It’s so quick and easy and it can be made in under 10 minutes. This sauce is so versatile because of it’s nutty and flavor. Because I can use it on so many things, I always make extra and store it in my fridge for later.

Ingredients in Tahini Sauce
Lemon Juice: You can use fresh lemon juice or juice from a bottle. Garlic Cloves: I like to use fresh garlic cloves in my recipes but if you need to used minced garlic in a pinch then you can use that too. ½ teaspoon usually equals about 1 clove of garlic. Tahini: The tahini paste is what brings in that delicious and earthy nutty flavor. Cumin: I love the distinct flavor that cumin brings to any recipe. Salt: The salt will enhance all of the flavors in the sauce. Water: Use this to think out the sauce to the texture of your liking. Add more water to make it more like a salad dressing that you can drizzle on anything.
