Tahini Sauce Recipe - Detox Friendly

I am in LOOOVE with this Tahini Sauce! My husband and I are pretty sure that it makes EVERYTHING taste better :)  We have found so many uses for it!  You can make it as thick or thin as you like.  It's a great veggie dip, it's delicious drizzled over Roasted Cauliflower and Roasted Root Vegetables, it's good as a salad dressing if you thin it out a little and I even like it mixed in with the Goat Cheese Pasta and Veggies.

Tahini Sauce


Ingredients

1/2 c. tahini (be sure that you read your labels and that it's JUST ground toasted sesame seeds.  Some jars contain soybean oil)
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 t. salt (I like Himalayan Pink)
2 T. Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)
1/4 c. lemon juice
finely chopped parsley



In food processor, combine garlic and tahini.  Add salt.  Remove from food processor.  Add oil and lemon juice.  The texture will look grainy at this point because the oil and lemon juice don't want to blend.  I found that it's better to use a spatula than a wooden spoon.  Add warm water 1 T. at a time until desired consistency. 



Mix until well blended.  Tahini Sauce should appear creamy and smooth.  Stir in chopped parsley.

Pairs well with cooked or raw veggies.
