Notes
Equipment. We like to use a bullet-style blender here, as it creates an exceptionally smooth dressing. This recipe also works with a regular blender or immersion blender.
Substitutions. Use fresh mint, chives, cilantro, or oregano in place of some or all of the parsley here. Use fresh lime juice in place of the lemon. Add a clove of raw or roasted garlic if you like. This recipe is very forgiving: Adjust the amount of any ingredient to suit your taste!
We tested this recipe with Soom Tahini and Wegmans Organic Tahini. For best results, look for Tahini Paste that lists "sesame seeds" as the sole ingredient.
