Notes

  1. Tahini - the base of this sauce is tahini, so it's ideal to use a high quality, good tasting tahini. We like Soom brand which is available on Amazon.
  2. Lemon juice - freshly squeezed lemon juice creates the best flavor in this dressing.
  3. Storing: Keep it stored in the fridge and enjoy within around 5 days. It makes a great make ahead option as it stores really well and the flavors get even better after a little time chilling in the fridge.
