There’s something about tahini that I just love. Who’s with me? Tahini is a paste of crushed sesame seeds that is widely used in Middle Eastern cooking (and in our kitchen). It’s versatile, flavor-packed, and makes such a great base for all kinds of dressings, sauces, and even baked goods.
YUM. See our favorite homemade hummus HERE. and our ever-so-addicting “crack sauce” HERE!
My most recent endeavors into tahini use resulted in a delicious salad dressing that we’ve already put to use multiple times in the past week.
First, atop a simple salad for a dinner with friends that included mixed greens, goat cheese, and toasted walnuts. And more recently, drizzled over a salad of local greens, warm roasted brussel sprouts, toasted pecans, quinoa, and more goat cheese. SO good. The possibilities are deliciously endless (and suitable for every season).
How will you enjoy this one?
Happy salad enjoying, friends!

WHAT YOU DO:
