Creamy Tahini Sauce

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup sesame tahini

• 1/2 cup plain yogurt

• 5–6 Tbs (75–90mL) lemon juice

• 1 Tbs lime juice

• 1–2 tsp (3–6g) garlic, crushed

• 1/4 cup parsley, minced

• 1 Tbs flax oil

• 1/4 tsp sea salt

• 1/2–1 cup (120–240mL) water

This dressing can be used in a pita over falafel, as a dressing on a raw vegetable salad, or over cooked vegetables, rice, and tofu. Garnish with parsley.

Directions

• Place tahini, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, flax oil, and salt in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. (You can also use a blender.) Blend ingredients in a food processor until smooth and creamy. Keeping the motor running, slowly drizzle in the water, checking every now and then to monitor the consistency.
