Introduction
*As seen in our Botanica at Home: Mother Sauces - Whipped Tahini video!*This creamy; herbaceous dressing has become a staple at Botanica. We serve it on a crunchy; bright salad of chicories and/or gem lettuces with shaved turnips; radishes and snap peas (when they're in season). It brings the satisfaction of a creamy ranch dressing; but with Botanica spirit!
Ingredients
- 1 cup whipped tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons buttermilk
- 1 large garlic clove, minced or microplaned
- 1 tablespoon dried dill or 2 tablespoons minced fresh dill
- 1/4 cup finely chopped chives
- 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley

Instructions
Whisk the whipped tahini; lemon juice; maple syrup and buttermilk to combine. (If your whipped tahini is coming straight from the fridge; add a few splashes of water to help thin things out.) Add the remaining ingredients; stir well; and season with salt.Serve with crunchy lettuces (chicories; little gems) and raw vegetables (radishes; snap peas; shaved turnips; cucumbers); or on a big chopped salad; or anywhere you'd like a creamy dressing!
