This sauce balances the rich nuttiness of tahini against the acidity of fresh lemon - a classic Palestinian combination. (Read about all of the nourishing benefits of tahini here). I love this sauce because it is so very versatile. Drizzle over fish or chicken, pour over vegetables, use as a dressing for a salad or a sandwich - Palestinians use this sauce in many ways. You already may have tried this sauce over kefta, a Palestinian meatloaf, but if you haven't, you should. Sometimes without the parsley, this also makes a simple stand-alone dip for Arabic bread. It is also the base for other dips, such as hummus and baba ghanoush.
