Green Tahini Sauce

Introduce the green tahini sauce and its versatility.

Explain that tahini is toasted sesame seed paste and is full of calcium.

Mention using tahini in smoothies and yogurt for creaminess without dairy.

Add 2 garlic cloves to the food processor.

Add basil, chives, and cilantro (or parsley as a substitute) to the food processor.

Pour in a little bit of olive oil.

Add water to thin out the sauce as it gets thick like a paste.

If the sauce has an edge, add a tiny bit of maple syrup or honey.

Add lemon juice to brighten the sauce.

Process the mixture in the food processor until smooth.

Taste the sauce and adjust with salt if needed.

Suggest serving ideas: steamed rice, sautéed beans, sautéed spinach, roasted carrots, or as a dip for raw veggies.
