What Is Tahini Sauce?
Tahini is a paste or sauce made from sesame seeds. Tahini paste comes primarily from the Middle East where it is used in recipes and as a sauce on its own. Sesame seeds are a nutrient dense food, high in B vitamins, unsaturated healthy fats, and minerals like iron. You can usually find tahini near the peanut butter in your grocery store.
How To Make Green Tahini Sauce
The vibrant Green Tahini Sauce is made with olive oil, tahini, cilantro, garlic, honey, and lemon. You can use parsley in addition to, or instead of cilantro if you prefer. Simply combine the sauce ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour over your roasted veggie bowl and enjoy!
