What if my tahini separated?

Sometimes tahini will separate in the jar. The ground sesame solids will separate from the sesame oil. If this happens, first try stirring it to mix it back together. It's easier to do at room temperature. If this doesn’t work, scrape out the tahini and use an immersion blender or a blender to blend it until smooth. Or, you can make this tahini dressing in a blender using the thick part of the paste and the separated oil.

What if my tahini dressing is too thick?

Add 1 tablespoon of cold water to the jar of tahini dressing. Close the lid and shake it until it is smooth.
