Chef's Notes

Substitutions
Instead of tahini, use sunflower butter or plant-based yogurt for the creamy base.

Substitute lemon juice for lime juice.

Substitute ⅛–¼ teaspoon of garlic powder for the garlic clove.

Whole food sweetener
Use date paste in place of maple syrup.

Storage
Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container or mason jar for 7–10 days.
