This sauce is incredibly versatile and can be used as a dressing for salads, a dip for vegetables or bread, a sauce for grilled meats or falafel, or a spread for sandwiches and wraps.

How can I adjust the consistency?

If the tahini sauce is too thick, you can make a thinner sauce by gradually adding water, lemon juice, or olive oil until you reach your desired consistency. Conversely, if it's too thin, you can add more tahini paste to thicken it.
