Ingredients
- 1/2 cup packed basil (up to 1 cup if you want intense basil flavor!)
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon raw honey (or maple syrup if vegan)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- pinch cayenne
- 1/4-1/2 cups water
- salt to taste (I used about 1/2 teaspoon)
Method
- In a high powered blender, combine the basil, tahini, olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey/maple syrup, black pepper, cayenne, and 1/4 cup water.
- Blend on high until you have a smooth, creamy sauce.
- Add up to 1/4 cup more water (blending again to incorporate) until you get the thickness you like. Less water = thicker consistency (great as a sandwich spread). More water = thinner consistency (better as a sauce or dressing). Add salt, to taste. Voila!
- Can be made ahead and stored in the fridge, covered, up to 24 hours. Color is best when used immediately.
