Ingredients
- 1/3 cup tahini
- 1/2 cup loosely packed fresh parsley
- 1/4-1 /3 cup water
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1-2 tsp maple syrup (or honey if not vegan)
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 large clove garlic, peeled and smashed
- 1 stalk green onion, ends trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
Instructions
- Combine 1/3 cup tahini, 1/2 cup fresh parsley, 1/4 cup water, 3 Tbsp lemon juice, 2 Tbsp olive oil, 1-2 tsp maple syrup, 1/2 tsp sea salt, 1 large smashed garlic clove, and 1 stalk of green onion in a high-speed blender.
- Blend all ingredients until completely smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure an even consistency.
- Taste the tahini sauce and adjust the seasoning. Add more lemon juice for brightness, maple syrup for sweetness, or garlic for a spicier kick.
- If a thinner consistency is desired, add the remaining water (up to 1/3 cup total) 1 tablespoon at a time, blending after each addition until your preferred texture is reached. Serve immediately or store.
