Green Tahini Sauce

One of my greatest meal prep strategies of ALL TIME: early in the week, make a sauce. A really good one. And then use it on salads, grain bowls, socca, eggs, etc. all week long. It’s a simple tactic that can bring together the humblest of random pantry ingredients for easy weeknight meals.

One of my favorite sauces (ever) is this one: the green tahini sauce. It’s garlicky, lemony, herby, and good on everything. It also happens to be dairy-free, vegan, and paleo so it’s healthy too, of course. 😉

A classic pairing? This tahini sauce with these easy baked falafel. You can’t go wrong. Enjoy!

Instructions

1. Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender, starting with 1/4 cup of water. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding more water by the tablespoon until the sauce reaches a smooth, pourable consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

2. Transfer the sauce to an air-tight container and store in the fridge until you’re ready to use (see notes).

Notes

The tahini sauce will thicken in the fridge. To thin, simply add a few teaspoons of warm water and give a good stir until the desired consistency is reached before using.
