I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sauce turned out grainy. I think I might have over-blended it.

This sauce is a great way to use up leftover tahini. I always have a jar in my fridge, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses it up.

This sauce is a bit too thick for my taste. I would recommend thinning it out with some water or yogurt.
