This basic sauce is very kid-friendly. Serve it with Couscous Bowls or other bowl creations, or as a dipping sauce for fresh veggies. If you want to add a little zing, stir in ¼ cup fresh tarragon or chives.

The one cup of water was way too much and resulted in a dipping sauce that was more drinkable than dippable.

Hi Diane,
I’m sorry about that. Tahini thickness can vary a lot depending on the brand. We’ve updated the instructions to start with ½ cup water rather than 1 cup water; additional water can be added 1 to 2 Tbsp. at a time as needed to reach drizzling consistency. Thank you for the feedback.
