Everything Green Tahini Sauce

Everything Green Tahini Sauce

We make this sauce every week during the summer and always have a stash of it in the fridge. It's perfect for.....well..... everything! We use it as a salad dressing, drizzling sauce for summer grilling, dipping sauce for crudite or stirred through a grain bowl for a creamy flavor boost. You can adjust the thickness by adding more tahini to make it thicker or extra water or lemon juice to thin it down. Watch us make it here.

INGREDIENTS
1 c Seed + Mill Roasted Garlic Tahinior our Organic Tahini
¼ c lime juice 
¼ c water
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, or any white vinegar
1 tbs maple syrup, or honey 
1 large bunch (about 2 cups) fresh green herbs, we used a mix of basil, parsley, cilantro and mint (including parsley and cilantro stems)
1 clove garlic, skip if using our Roasted Garlic Tahini
1 shallot, roughly chopped
Salt & pepper, to taste

STEPS

  1. Blend the herbs and water in a food processor for 1-2 mins. Add remaining ingredients and blend again until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add more water. If it’s too thin, add more tahini and herbs. 
Note: this sauce can be made up to 2-3 days in advance or will keep in the fridge for leftovers for the same period!

    The halva here is subtle, but adds a welcomed nutty flavor and tender texture on top of the flaky crust, and beneath the jammy fruit, lending it a not-not peanut butter and jelly quality. It's also lending its talents as a sweetener (meaning less granulated sugar on your fruit), and also providing something for those juices to sink into as the fruit bakes, which leaves you with a never-soggy bottom
