Notes
This recipe makes 225g tahini sauce.
Plant-based milk. I like to use this Homemade Almond Milk, or Homemade Cashew Milk but you can use oat milk or coconut milk if you need it to be nut-free.
If your tahini dressing seems a little curdled when you add the plant milk then use an immersion blender to make ultra smooth.
If it’s a little thin right after you’ve whisked it up then allow it to rest for about 15 minutes and it will thicken. Whisk before serving.
Serve with chopped salads, grain bowls or roasted vegetables.
Make ahead and store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to five days.
