Description

This quick and easy lemon herb tahini sauce is one of my all time favorite sauces! Featuring fresh herbs, tahini, garlic and lemon, this nutritious and versatile sauce is perfect for adding fresh flavor to almost any dish.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/4 cup filtered water
  • 1/4 cup runny tahini
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro, large thick stems removed
  • 1 cup fresh Italian flat leaf parsley, large thick stems removed
  • 2-4 large garlic cloves (I like 4!)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large juicy lemon, juiced

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients to a mini food processor (or blender) and purée until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, you can pulse until well combined where only specs of herbs can be seen. You can also use an immersion blender here. 
  2. Serve immediately or store leftover tahini sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to about 5-7 days. It will thicken in the fridge, so when reusing you might need to whisk with extra water to thin it out to your desired consistency.

Notes

  • You can add some of the thinner herb stems in this sauce since it is pureed and still offers flavor.
