Love your peanut butter? We get it. But tahini deserves a spot on your shelf too! Soom Tahini is made from premium sesame seeds and nothing else. Tahini is a creamy, nut-free spread that’s just as versatile (if not more so!) than peanut, almond, or cashew butter.
Whether you're nut-free, switching things up, or just looking for new ways to use tahini, here are 7 tasty swaps to try.
1. Salad Dressings That Hit All the Right Notes
Creamy, tangy, and totally addictive, tahini makes the perfect base for nut-free dressings. Try whisking Soom with lemon juice, garlic, and a little maple syrup for an all-purpose drizzle. It works beautifully on kale salads, grain bowls, or even roasted sweet potatoes. See more salad dressing recipes here!
2. Nut-Free Stir Fry Sauce
Next time you go to make stir fry, try swapping in tahini into your sauce instead of peanut butter. The nutty taste blends smoothly with soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and a dash of sriracha. Pour it over noodles, toss it with veggies, or spoon it over tofu.
3. Smoothies That Are Next-Level Creamy
Add a spoonful of tahini to your favorite smoothie in place of almond or peanut butter. It adds creaminess, richness, and a plant-based protein boost, here are a few recipes to check out.
4. Fun Toast Toppings
Spread tahini on toast like you would any nut butter. Then go wild with toppings! Cottage cheese, sliced banana, a drizzle of honey, or even flaky sea salt and cinnamon would be delicious.
5. Energy Bites Without the Nuts
Tahini is perfect for no-bake energy bites. Just mix oats, tahini, honey or maple syrup, and a handful of chocolate chips or dried fruit. Roll, chill, and snack away.
6. The Best Baked Goods
Swap tahini 1:1 for peanut butter in cookies, brownies, or blondies. It adds a toasty, nutty depth that pairs perfectly with chocolate, caramel, or vanilla.
7. Savory Sandwich Spreads
Use tahini as a base for a savory sandwich spread by mixing it with lemon juice, olive or avocado oil, garlic, herbs, and a splash of water. Pair it with roasted veggies and greens for a satisfying, Mediterranean-style sandwich.
