  • 1 clove Garlic

  • ⅓ cup Water
  • ¼ cup Fresh dill
  • ¼ cup Fresh parsley
  • 2 Tbsp Capers

  • ¼ tsp Salt
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Wash the fresh dill and parsley.
  • Squeeze one lemon to capture the juice.
  • Peel garlic clove.
  • Add all ingredients to a blender or food processor (tahini, lemon juice, garlic clove, olive oil, black pepper, salt, water, dill, parsley, and capers).
  • Blend it until you get a smooth sauce.

Notes

Which blender to use for the sauce? – The amount of the ingredients may be too small for your blender. In that case, take a thin long container and use a hand blender aka immersion blender. Since there are no hard ingredients, your lemon herb tahini sauce will still be creamy and smooth with a Vitamix as well.
