Tahini Sauce is made from tahini sesame paste. Tahini is similar to raw nut butters, but its made out of sesame seeds and is a great alternative for those with nut allergies. We love to spoon atop our falafel or as a dip with veggies. If you thin it out further, it makes a great dressing or marinade. Mess around with the flavors for different dips and dressings. This sauce/dip stores well in the fridge.
If you’re looking for an awesome way to use this classic dressing, try our gluten free falafel.
