Chef's Notes

If you notice your tahini is not smooth or it's grainy in texture, you need to add more water a bit at a time to smooth it out.
To make dressing add more water to reach desired consistency.
Homemade tahini will last about 2-3 days in the refrigerator in an airtight bottle or container.
