Notes
- Makes 1 cup of lemon herb tahini sauce, which is 8 servings of 2 tablespoons.
- Storing - the high levels of healthy oils in tahini sauce will ensure it keeps in a sealed container in the fridge for up to a week. Cold tahini is difficult to stir so bring to room temperature mixing well before using. Freeze in ice cube trays for single use amount, then transfer to a freezer bag and freeze for up to a month. Thaw before using.
