Sesame seeds are a great component to any dish and can also add a bit of flair to a typical salad. They can be used in many ways, they can be pulverized into a powder, lightly toasted, or even made into tahini. Tahini is widely used in the Mediterranean as the main component in hummus and it’s also used as a dressing for finely chopped salads. Tahini is loaded with protein and it’s great for people who are leaning towards a vegetarian/vegan diet. You’ll certainly get a big shot of protein in one heaping spoonful of tahini. Pair it with toast in the morning for a simple and easy breakfast.
Goes Great With Roasted Veggies
Tahini is an amazing dip for roasted vegetables especially eggplant.
Spice it Up
Tahini goes great with almost any spices including turmeric and spiced paprika. If you’re looking to make an Indian type style of tahini feel free to add garam masala or even cumin powder. Top it off with some lemon zest and you’re good to go!
