How to Make the Best Green Tahini Sauce
This vibrant green tahini sauce is a game-changer for your Middle Eastern-inspired dishes. With its creamy tahini base brightened by fresh herbs, garlic, and a squeeze of lemon, it adds a burst of flavor and beautiful color to everything it touches. Whether you’re drizzling it over crispy falafel, spooning it onto shawarma, or using it as a dip for fresh vegetables, this sauce elevates any meal.
What makes this sauce so special is its versatility. You can customize the herb blend to your liking—classic cilantro and parsley create an authentic flavor, while adding mint brings a refreshing twist. The optional jalapeño slices give it a gentle kick, but feel free to leave them out for a milder version or add more if you love heat.
Best of all, this sauce comes together in just five minutes with a blender or food processor. Make a batch at the beginning of the week and you’ll have a delicious, healthy condiment ready to transform your everyday meals into something extraordinary.

Instructions
Green Tahini Sauce
- Place all the ingredients (except the tahini paste) in a blender or food processor and blend until combined but not overly smooth.
- Add tahini paste and blend until creamy, leaving some of the herbs intact.
- Taste and adjust salt, acid, and heat. Add more salt, lemon, or fresh chilies to taste.
- If you want a looser sauce, add a little more water until the desired consistency is reached.
Notes
- For the fresh herbs, use any combination of cilantro, Italian parsley, mint, dill, or basil. A mix of cilantro and parsley works beautifully.
- Start with less salt and add more to taste—tahini brands vary in saltiness.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
