Green Goddess Tahini Sauce (and Dressing)

This was a fantastic topping for the pattie in my bruger the other night. Delicious and gave the meat a qwik punch.
Servings: 1 cup

Ingredients

  • ½ cup whole milk yogurt*
  • ½ cup basil leaves
  • ¼ cup parsley leaves
  • ¼ cup tahini (ground sesame seeds)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt

Instructions

  • In a small food processor or high-speed blender, combine the yogurt, basil, parsley, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and salt. Process until smooth and creamy. If serving as a dip, use as is. If using as a sauce or dressing, add a little water to thin it to your desired consistency.
  • This sauce can be made without an appliance by finely chopping the herbs and garlic and stirring all of the ingredients together.
  • Stays fresh for up to 1 week in the fridge.

Notes

GLUTEN-FREE // VEGETARIAN // VEGAN: Create a dairy-free variation made with cashews instead of yogurt. Boil ½ cup water, add ¼ cup cashews, cover, remove from heat, and soak for 30 minutes (do not discard water). Blend the cashews and the soaking water with the above ingredients.
