Tahini

Nourishing, versatile. A great source of healthy fats, vitamins and minerals.

On its own, the taste is slightly bitter, mixed with a few easy ingredients, whips up into a lovely dressing or dip for salad and steamed veggies (key ingredient in hummus). It also lends itself well to baking. Use in place of any nut butter in baked goods and kid friendly snacks as a great nut free alternative. 

Particularly beneficial in the Fall and Winter where we’re likely to be more affected by cold and dry conditions. 

Here is a quick topping for your next veggie bowl…

1 tbsp tahini 

½ tbsp olive oil

Generous squeeze of lemon

Pinch of salt

1 tbsp warm water

Combine first 4 ingredients, whisk in warm water to desired texture.

Enjoy!
