Easy Tahini Sauce (Salad Dressing or Dipping Sauce)

This creamy tahini sauce is a must-have in your fridge. It's quick to make, endlessly versatile, and one of my favorite sauces to drizzle over lentil bowls, dip fresh veggies into, or spoon onto roasted sweet potatoes. I use it constantly in our house to perk up leftovers and tie together bean and lentil-based meals.
