Notes
- No Added Oil: This recipe is made without added oil—the tahini is simply ground up sesame seeds!
- Consistency Tip: If your tahini isn't very "drippy," you can add a few extra tablespoons of aquafaba (chickpea brine) as needed to get a smoother consistency.
- Storing: Just transfer to an airtight container, refrigerate, and consume within 4-5 days.
