Lemon Herb Tahini Sauce is easy and versatile. Great on salads, grilled meat, or as a dip or sandwich spread. You'll love it on roasted veggies too!

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 6 Servings 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/4 cup Olive Oil
  • Zest and juice of 1 Lemon
  • 3 Tbsp of Tahini Paste
  • 2 Tbsp of Honey
  • 1 tsp of Dijon Mustard
  • 1 tsp of Salt
  • 1/4 tsp of Black Pepper
  • 1 Tbsp of Fresh Parsley
  • 2 tsp of Fresh Thyme
  • 4 Tbsp Water (more or less may be needed)

Instructions

  1. Remove the fresh thyme leaves from their stems, and chop the fresh flat leaf parsley.
  2. Zest the lemon, then cut the lemon in half and juice it.
  3. Add the 1/4 cup of olive oil to the cup of your immersion blender (or bowl, whichever you are using).
  4. Add the 3 Tbsp of tahini paste, the lemon juice, and the 2 Tbsp of honey to the oil.
  5. Next, add the chopped Tbsp of parsley, the 2 tsp of fresh thyme, 1 tsp of Dijon mustard, 1 tsp of salt, 1/4 tsp of black pepper, and lemon zest.
  6. Start blending the ingredients using the immersion blender. You will find it to be quite thick. Add water one tablespoon at a time until you have the consistency that you want. Enjoy this sauce on anything and everything you like!

Notes

  1. This sauce has many uses! Try it on sandwiches, vegetables, appetizer platters, salads, or grilled meat.
  2. To store your sauce, keep it in a tightly sealed jar in the refrigerator. It will keep up to two weeks. It will need a shake before using.
  3. Feel free to change up the herbs here! Try tarragon, basil, sage, marjoram, oregano, or rosemary. There are an endless number of ways to change the flavor of this sauce just by using different herbs.
  4. This dressing is great on my Farro Salad with Spring Vegetables. It's one of my favorite ways to eat this sauce.
  5. If you don't have an immersion blender, you could make this in your standard blender or food processor.
  6. Should you find that you have to use more water than you expected to thin out the sauce while you're making it, this could affect the flavor. Just add a little more salt and pepper to taste if needed.
