Tahini Dressing infused with Lemon & Roasted Garlic

1/27/2017

Creamy Tahini, a generous portion of freshly squeezed lemon juice and roasted garlic come together to create a thick spread. Add water and create an unbeatable dressing. You can add a little salt, perhaps a dash of cumin, fresh coriander/cilantro and or parsley for a unique spread, sauce or dressing that is sure to please! Personally, I can't get enough of this, my taste buds go wild for it. I hope you love this easy recipe.

Tahini Sauce
1/2 Cup Tahini
1 Small Head Garlic, Roasted (+/- to taste or a couple raw cloves)
1/2 Cup Lemon Juice
Opt: salt to taste
Water to thin as per your preference
Opt: 2 tsp + minced coriander / cilantro or mix of cilantro and parsley

Peaceful Preparation:
Combine the tahini, desired amount of garlic and lemon juice in a food processor or mix by hand. If mixing by hand, mince or chop the garlic finely first. Taste, if you would like, add a pinch or two of salt. Adjust to your desired consistency by adding a little water at a time or leave very thick. I added about 2 1/2 Tbsp water for more of a dressing. Opt to stir in 2 tsp of minced herbs and/or top it with fresh herbs. Use as desired. Pairs magnificently with falafel and the Falafel Burger!

Have fun!
