Creamy Tahini Sauce (with Greens)
Ingredients
- ½ cup tahini
- ½ cup lemon juice (or half apple cider vinegar & water)
- ½ cup water
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 small garlic clove, chopped or minced
Instructions
WITH BLENDER:
- In a reusable container: add the tahini, lemon juice, water, salt and garlic.(TIP: if using a countertop blender, just put all of the ingredients in your blender pitcher.)
- Cilantro (or other greens): wash your bunch very well, in a bowl with cold water (or under cold running water, which is more water-intensive).Then roughly chop up the greens and add them to your container.
- Blend everything until smooth.
- Check saltiness & consistency. If you want a runnier dressing (for drizzling), add some water, a tablespoon at a time. If you want a thicker texture, add a bit of tahini, one teaspoon at a time.Serve & enjoy!
WITHOUT BLENDER:
- Finely chop or grate your fresh garlic, or make a paste by flattening it repeatedly with the flat edge of your knife.
- In a reusable container: add the tahini, lemon juice and garlic. Mix it up with a spoon or spatula, making sure there are no lumps.Then add the water and salt, and mix everything well.
- Cilantro (or other greens): wash your bunch very well, in a bowl with cold water (or under cold running water, which is more water-intensive).Then chop it up as finely as you’d like, since the greens will not be pureed by a blender. Add the greens to the tahini mixture.
