Cilantro-Lime-Tahini Sauce (Paleo, SCD, Vegan)

Okay, guys, this stuff is saucy legitness. Like I want to drizzle it on all the things all the time. Like it feels as though my taste buds go all jazz hands when this Cilantro-Lime-Tahini Sauce meets my palate.

You’ll notice that this recipe requires Stage 1 and 2 AIP reintroductions — cumin and tahini respectively. It was a happy day for me when seed-based spices were successfully reintroduced because I heart cumin so much I could snort it.

Anyway, you may find that you too do well with the reintroduction of seed-based spices, as Sarah Ballantyne of The Paleo Mom mentions in The Paleo Approach, “The first stage includes foods that are most likely to be well tolerated” (333).

I love this sauce on a big bowl of butter lettuce. I also love it on chicken and fish. Ooooh, and on rice! The tang of the lime works so well with the earthy tahini, combining to deliver fab savoury, drizzly scrumpsh.
