Maple Tahini Sauce
Brands of tahini can greatly vary in their consistency. From my experience, most are on the thinner side- this includes Soom and Whole Foods 365 brand. These types of tahini are best for this recipe. If you find a much thicker tahini- one that is more like a cashew butter or almond butter (like the brand Artisana), you will have to add more water to thin it out.
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons tahini, *see note above for brands/type
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, (start with 2 tablespoons- taste and add more if you want more acidity- vinegars can really vary in how strong they are!)
- scant 1/4 cup (1.5 oz) extra virgin olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons (1 ounce) water
Instructions
- Mix everything together in a bowl and small blender until smooth.
- Store in airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Add more water if it gets too thick in the fridge!
