Tips & Storage
- How to Store
- Store in a glass jar or airtight container in the refrigerator. Most homemade condiments and dressings keep well for 1-2 weeks.
- Serving Tip
- Bring to room temperature before serving for the best flavor. Shake or stir well, as homemade dressings may separate.
- Batch Cooking Tip
- Make a double or triple batch — homemade condiments elevate any meal and are so much healthier than store-bought versions.

Basic Tahini Sauce
Tahini is a perfect condiment. Use it as a drizzle on cooked protein, veggies or salads. Make a thicker sauce and use it as you would hummus, as a dip for veggies or pita. Spread it on a plate and garnish with a lentil salad, cherry tomato salad or a seasoned chopped meat dish.

Tahini “Peanut” Sauce
This sauce is a staple for any Thai meal. It is amazing used as a dip for satays or fritters, but also fabulous along side the Pad Thai. What I love about it, is that it is nut free!
