Herby Green Tahini Sauce (5 Minutes!)
Mediterranean-inspired herby tahini sauce that’s perfect for falafel, veggies, chicken, or fish. Just 5 minutes and 8 ingredients required!
Servings 8 (2-Tbsp servings)
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup tahini (find our store-bought tahini review here)
- 1/2 cup loosely packed fresh parsley
- 1/4-1/3 cup water
- 3 Tbsp lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1-2 tsp maple syrup (or honey if not vegan)
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 large clove garlic, peeled and smashed
- 1 stalk green onion, ends trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender (starting with the lesser amount of water) and blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Taste and adjust, adding more lemon juice for brightness, maple syrup or honey for sweetness, or garlic for spiciness and zing. You can also add more water 1 tablespoon at a time to reach your desired consistency.
- Enjoy with veggies, falafel, chicken, fish, or on grain bowls. Store leftover sauce in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Not freezer friendly.
