Tahini is a Middle Eastern condiment made with toasted, ground hulled sesame seeds. It can be turned into sauces or used in hummus and other recipes. This creamy tahini sauce gets its green color from herbs.
This green tahini sauce is made with tahini, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, basil, cilantro, water and salt. The ingredients are put into a blender or food processor and whirled until smooth and creamy. Add a little water at a time until you reach the desired level of creaminess.
Use this green tahini sauce on salads, fish, chicken and other meats or vegetables. You could even dip tortilla chips, pita bread or naan bread into it.
