Ingredients
-
1 tbsp Tahini
2 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tbsp Soy Sauce
1 dash Black Pepper, ground
1/2 tbs Ginger, ground
1 tbsp Plain Yogurt, fat free (optional)
1-2 tbsp water (optional)
Directions
Place tahini in a bowl, add soy sauce and dry ingredients and whisk with a fork until smooth.
Add lemon juice and yogurt and whisk again. You could add the lemon juice in the previous step but it will be harder to get the mixture smooth.
If mixture is still too thick add some water and whisk again.

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.

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
