Dip raw veggies in it. For a simple snack, reach for tahini instead of ranch dressing next time you&#8217;re looking for a dip for crudit\u00c3\u00a9s. Add lemon juice, salt, and a dash of pepper or hot sauce for extra flavor.<\/p>\n<p>2. Spread it on toast. On whole wheat bread, perhaps with a little honey or agave syrup, tahini can be part of a balanced breakfast.<\/p>\n<p>3. Drizzle it on falafel. For a no-stress summer meal, warm up store-bough frozen falafel and stuff it a pita. Thin out your tahini by adding add a few T. of hot water and lemon juice and then drizzle it over the sandwich.<\/p>\n<p>4. Use it to make Tarator sauce. Tarator is a little-known but much-loved multipurpose sauce that&#8217;s particularly tasty for dipping grilled chicken or steamed vegetables. Add 4 cloves minced garlic to \u00c2\u00bd C. tahini, \u00c2\u00bd C. lemon juice, and \u00c2\u00bc C. parsley. Pulse in a food processor until combined.<\/p>\n<p>5. Dress your salad with it. Give your balsamic dressing a break and try a tahini-based salad dressing instead. For an easy recipe, combine \u00c2\u00bd C. tahini and \u00c2\u00bd C. olive oil with 2 tsp. apple cider vinegar, 2 tsp. of lemon juice, and 2 tsp. of grated ginger in a blender. Drizzle over your greens and enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>6. Make a double sesame burger. Why should the bun get all the sesame love? Tahini is super as a mild condiment on meats. Use it straight or enhance with a little lemon juice and smoked paprika and spread it on your burger. Some feta and cucumbers would complete the Mediterranean theme.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1. Dip raw veggies in it.
