Ingredients
 

  • 4 tablespoons tahini
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, peeled
  • 2 teaspoons agave syrup
  • Small handful fresh herbs (I used approx. 8 large basil leaves and 6 sprigs of parsley)
  • 4 tablespoons cold water (plus more if needed)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Add all the ingredients to a high-powered blender. I'd suggest starting with 2-3 tablespoons of cold water until you have a better idea of the consistency. Blend until very smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides if necessary.
  • Have a taste and adjust the flavours to your liking. If the sauce seems too thick, continue blending in one tablespoon of cold water at a time until you're happy with the consistency.
  • Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days to enjoy as a sauce, dressing, dip, or spread (see serving suggestions above for ideas of where to use this).
