Tahini Sauce

This is my classic Tahini sauce recipe which is very versatile and a great way to make a creamy sauce without using mayonnaise.Serve with all things Middle Eastern. Drizzle over roasted vegetables, use as a dressing or as a dip for vegetable sticks, pita bread or crackers. It's just a great, quick sauce recipe to know!Makes just over 1/3 cup (85 ml).
