Tahini is a white sauce made from toasted sesame seeds – it has a similar texture to natural peanut butter and a mild flavour. Try it with shredded carrots and your favourite veggie toppings.

Serves 2

Ingredients:

• 3 carrots, shredded
• ½ lemon, juiced
• 3 tbsp tahini
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• ½ tsp salt
• Black pepper to taste
• Additional toppings such as sliced cucumber, avocado, tomato, red onion, or sprouts.

Instructions:

1. Mix tahini with lemon juice, salt, garlic and black pepper. If it seems too thick, add a bit of water (1 tsp at a time) until it’s a spreadable paste-like consistency.
2. Pour over shredded carrots and mix well to combine.
3. This is great stuffed in a whole wheat pita – add a generous amount to your pita, add additional toppings suggested above, and enjoy!
