Honey-lime tahini sauce in a bowl, served with fresh vegetables

Honey-Lime Tahini Sauce

Tahini, a paste made from sesame seeds, is a staple in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine. Originally used for hummus, tahini can be varied in many ways, and this honey-lime version creates a refreshing, slightly sweet and tangy flavor profile. The natural acidity of the lime and the pleasant sweetness of the honey perfectly balance the silky, nutty flavor of the tahini. This sauce is an excellent addition to grilled dishes, salads, or even as a dip for fresh vegetables.
