Enjoy the rich and nutty flavor of homemade tahini while giving yourself heart-healthy fats from sesame sauce, or tahini. You can purchase tahini at major supermarkets or Mediterranean grocers. Dip raw vegetables or whole-wheat pita into it, or use it in cooking as a healthy creamy sauce. It’s high in calories, so serving sizes are small, but it’s a satisfying and healthy choice. It’s also naturally low in carbohydrates.

Variations

  • Instead of lemon juice, you can use lime juice or even vinegar to brighten up your tahini
  • Experiment with fresh herbs like chopped mint or parsley
  • Give it a different flavor and color, and add fiber and antioxidants, by blending in cooked beetroot, broccoli, or carrots
  • You can reduce the amount of garlic if desired
  • Season it with your preferred amount of black pepper and sea salt
  • Bell peppers, cauliflower florets, broccoli florets, snap peas, carrot sticks, cucumber slices, and celery sticks are all treat for dipping into this tahini
  • Thin your tahini by adding more lemon juice and ice water
  • For a thicker tahini, add more tahini or less ice water

Recipe for Simple Tahini Dip and Sauce

Makes 6 servings

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 4 medium cloves garlic (pressed or minced)
  • ½ cup of tahini
  • Pinch of cumin, paprika, and thyme
