Equipment
- Vitamix A2300
Ingredients
- ½ cup Tahini
- 1 Lemon (only juice, freshly squeezed)
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 Tbsp Olive oil
- ⅓ cup Water
- ¼ cup Fresh dill
- ¼ cup Fresh parsley
- 2 Tbsp Capers
- ⅛ tsp Black pepper
- ¼ tsp Salt
Instructions
- Wash the fresh dill and parsley.

- Blend it until you get a smooth sauce.
Notes
- Always use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the brightest, freshest flavor.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the consistency of your tahini sauce by adding more or less water. This is a personal preference, so start with a little and add more as needed.
- A good quality blender such as a Vitamix is essential for the best consistency. You can also use an immersion blender due to the small quantity of ingredients.
- If you're not a fan of capers, you can leave them out or substitute with chopped olives for a similar briny kick.
- This lemon herb tahini is best served fresh, but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
