What is Tahini Dressing or Sauce?
Tahini is ground toasted sesame seeds. Ever since I had a Tahini Buddha Bowl I got hooked. Trader Joe's sell a creamy and mildly nutty Tahini that taste like a light and creamy roasted peanut sauce. It is delicious and I like eating it by itself. Drizzle avocado with Tahini and it is creamier and yummy.
