     This was lovely and refreshing, w/ W/W pita and baby spinach, butter lettuce wedges w/ boiled egg and thinly sliced onion and roasted sesame seeds... Middle eastern/Asian culture is my life. Tahina can never be boring to me, but I like the nouveau twist by adding SOY sauce. I usually use EVOO. ;o) - 3/10/09

     I can't find tahini at local stores. I tried grinding sesame seeds into paste and used that for the recipe. Does tahini have any other ingredients besides sesame seeds?

    I did like it on celery! - 2/25/10

    Glad you liked it! I don't think tahini has any other ingredients besides sesame seeds but they might sometimes add sesame oil in commercial batches to make it runnier.

     Tahini has about the same calorie/fat analysis as peanut butter, so use accordingly. Very delicious, nutritious, and a source of "good fat". Just be aware of portion size. This recipe serving size is for 1 teaspoon of tahini. I do love my tahini!

     I didn't realize tahini was low calorie and low fat, so I avoided it in the past. This is GREAT for variety in veggie flavors. - 2/29/08

     Don't understand your abbreviations. Usually Tablespoon is Tbsp, and Teaspoon is tsp; TBS (for the ginger) is not a correct measurement for any ingredient. Please clarify this recipe, then I would love to try it. - 5/21/08

     Tahini & Yogurt are wonderful together. Can't wait to try this with the ginger ... YUM! - 12/5/08

     CATHYM5514-Everyone I know uses TBS/Tbs to mean tablespoon-perhaps it's a midwestern thing. Hope that helps you. Clarysage-are you sure 6 Tbs. of ingredients yields only 3 Tsp. of Tahini Dip? Can't wait to try it! - 5/30/08

     I prefer to add chickpeas and not the soy sauce. The yogurt was a nice touch. I normally make Tazitki to go with the tahini on couscous (with fresh cucumbers, tomatoe and onions). - 3/5/08

     Sounds great, can anyone tll me how long it is safe to keep in fridge, please - 11/7/20

     Enjoyed this. Made it without the yogurt and dressed lettuce. Would be very good on other chopped veggies or marinated with chicken. I will probably vary the amount of lemon next time, depending on what I'm using it for (the lemon too strong for lettuce, but would be awesome on chicken, etc.) - 6/12/14

     I really like this dressing. I think it could be used on cooked veggies as well. - 1/6/12

     It's actually unattractive - the soy sauce makes it a yucky brown. The measurements made it much too watery for me - it's sitting in the fridge.

    I was trying to find one that turned out a rosy color but now cannot find it again.
