Tahini-Ginger Dipping Sauce

Recipe #301710 | 10 min | 10 min prep | 1 heaping cup (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: cookiedog

This multipurpose sauce gives an Asian twist to ordinary foods. Spread it over salmon, chicken, grilled pork, or shrimp. You could also use it in the middle of a crudite platter. Different brands of Tahini have different thicknesses so add more water if needed to achieve the desired consistency.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup tahini (stir together if oil and nut butter hae separated)
  • teaspoon soy sauce, plus more as needed
  • tablespoon rice vinegar
  • tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons peeled and finely chopped fresh ginger
  • teaspoons honey
  • tablespoons water, plus more as needed
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh lime juice, plus more as needed
  • Directions

    1. 1
      Combine the mayonnaise, tahini, the 1 teaspoons soy sauce, the vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, honey, the 2 tablespoons water and the 1/2 teaspoons lime juice in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and process until smooth. Add more water if necessary. Season with more soy sauce and lime juice to taste.
    2. 2
      Refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to use. The sauce will keep, covered and refrigerated, for 2 to 3 weeks. (The sauce will thicken over time, so adjust the consistency with more water if necessary. The flavor will also mellow over time, so adjust the seasonings if necessary.).
