LEMON TAHINI SALAD DRESSING

Delicious over mixed greens. Add cucumbers and radishes if you like. I found the dressing to be a bit runny, so make sure your tahini is rich and full, if not, don't add as much water. Either way, the taste is yummy and not your ordinary dressing. As chef blucoat chef #225426 so eloquently pointed out, this recipe comes from Gourmet 2002. I had written it down on a deposit slip and failed to note where it came from. Thanks Blucoat.
