Lemon Herb Tahini Sauce
This lemon herb tahini dressing is one of my top three favorite condiments. This healthy sauce is outrageously, tasty and so versatile. A perfect accompaniment to lentil kafta, roasted sweet potatoes and black bean burgers. Drizzle tahini sauce over a green bowl or salad and make any pile of vegetables outrageously delicious. It’s the perfect balance between the nutty richness of the tahini and the right aromatic flavors of lemon and fresh herbs. With cilantro, parsley and mint, it’s packed with flavor.
