This makes an excellent dressing for any roast vegetable, quinoa or chickpea salad. It also works well as a drizzle sauce for barbecued lamb, chicken or fish. Tahini (ground sesame paste) can be made out of either black seeds or white seeds. The black is slightly stronger in flavour, but makes for a striking slate grey dressing, particularly when served over roast pumpkin or sweet potato. You can also try varying the flavours further by adding some grated garlic, chilli paste or pomegranate molasses to the mix.
