This creamy and addictive sauce is made with rich tahini, real mayonnaise, fresh garlic, and bright lemon juice.
All is right in the world when I have a jar of tahini stashed in the pantry or in my refrigerator. In case you’re not familiar, tahini is a paste made from sesame seeds. You can pick up a jar at most large grocery stores, international markets, or online.
Tahini is the secret to smooth, creamy hummus and is a great addition to many Lebanese specialties. Packed with heart-healthy omega 3’s and mono-unsaturated fatty acids, tahini is satisfying, delicious, and totally good for you.
We love drizzling it over grilled meats, roasted fish, and tossing it into salads. Most recently, I turned it into a quick and easy Creamy Tahini Garlic Mayo to spread over juicy burgers. The cool, flavorful sauce complements a hot-off-the-grill burger to a T. It’s the ultimate dip for hot, crispy french fries and is ideal for dipping cool veggies.
Tahini mixed with fresh garlic, real mayo, and bright lemon juice instantly transforms into a mouth-watering and addictive condiment you’ll be making again and again.
