LEMON TURMERIC TAHINI SAUCE

Lemon Turmeric Tahini Sauce is a creamy and nutrient-rich sauce with earthy, tangy and slightly nutty flavours. The combination of tahini and turmeric creates a smooth, golden-hued sauce packed with anti-inflammatory properties. Lemon juice brightens the flavour, while olive oil adds silkiness, making it a perfect dressing or dip. This sauce is incredibly versatile—it works as a drizzle over salads, grain bowls and roasted vegetables or as a dip for pita and falafel. The subtle warmth of turmeric balances beautifully with the richness of tahini, creating a well-rounded taste that pairs well with Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes. With no cooking required and only a few simple ingredients, it comes together quickly, making it an easy addition to your meals. Whether used as a dressing, dip or spread, this sauce adds a vibrant and healthy twist to any dish.

PREPARATION

  • Prepare The Ingredients: Stir the tahini well before measuring, as it can separate. Measure all ingredients before mixing for a smooth blending process.

  • Season To Taste: Add a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper, adjusting as needed for a balanced flavour.

TIPS

Here are some helpful tips for you when making this lemon turmeric tahini sauce.

  • Use High-Quality Tahini: A smooth and runny tahini blends better, creating a creamy consistency without clumping.
  • Mix Well Before Serving: Turmeric can settle, so stir thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavour.
  • Adjust Acidity: For a tangier sauce, add an extra few drops of lemon juice.
  • Thin It Out If Needed: For a pourable dressing, whisk in ½ tsp water or extra olive oil.
  • Enhance The Flavour: A pinch of cumin or garlic powder can add extra depth to the sauce.
  • Let It Rest Before Serving: Allowing the sauce to sit helps the flavours meld together for a richer taste.

VARIATIONS

  • Creamy Lemon Turmeric Sauce: Blend in 1 tbsp Greek yoghurt for a thicker and silkier texture. Mix well to incorporate.
  • Spicy Turmeric Tahini Sauce: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes for a mild heat. Adjust spice level as desired.
  • Garlic-Infused Sauce: Stir in ¼ tsp minced garlic for a bolder, more aromatic flavour. Let it sit for 10 minutes to infuse properly.
  • Citrus Boost Sauce: Add ½ tsp orange juice for a slightly sweeter and more vibrant twist that pairs well with roasted vegetables.
  • Herb-Infused Sauce: Mix in finely chopped parsley or cilantro for a fresh, herbal touch that enhances Mediterranean dishes.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Stir well before using, as separation may occur.
  • Freezing: Not recommended, as tahini-based sauces can change texture when thawed.
  • Serving Tip: If the sauce thickens in the fridge, add a few drops of warm water and whisk to restore the original consistency.
