Notes
- Tahini: Tahini usually clumps together when stored, so you will need to stir ir well before using. The taste of tahini can vary depending on the brand. Taste and adjust seasoning or maple syrup as needed.
- Lemon Herb Tahini Sauce: Add finely chopped cilantro or parsley to make it a lemon herb tahini sauce.
- Uses: This works great to top on falafel, grilled chicken or veggies. Thin it down a little to use as a simple vegan salad dressing or dip.
