This yoghurt tahini sauce recipe is so versatile and can be used as a dressing or a dip. Gluten free and sugar free, it's so easy and goes with everything! Recipe via nourisheveryday.com
Combine the yoghurt, tahini and cider vinegar in a small bowl or a mug. Whisk together with a fork, adding a little water to thin out the dressing to the desired consistency (for a dip, no need to add water and you can keep it thick).
Season with salt and pepper to taste, and then serve.
Notes
*You will usually find hulled tahini in the shops; this is sesame seed paste made with sesame seeds that have had the outer shell removed. It’s lighter, smoother and creamier tasting. Unhulled is made with intact sesame seeds and is typically darker and grainier, with a nutty, almost more bitter flavour. While I love both I think the hulled version produces a nicer result in this recipe.Sauce variations:
increase the amount of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice (or use a combination) to create a more tangy dressing.
add in a spoonful or two of extra virgin olive oil for a more luxurious, silky result. A punchy EVOO will add a nice bite to the sauce.
add in one of the following herbs or spices to change up the flavour: (i) a little finely chopped raw garlic, (ii) some finely chopped fresh herbs e.g. dill, basil, flat leaf parsley, or (iii) a tablespoon of wholegrain mustard.
