Notes

Storage
Keep any unused tahini sauce in a glass jar or an airtight container, then store it in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. Note that separation may happen during storage; just quickly stir the sauce to restore smoothness. 
Always check the smell and texture before using. If you notice any excessive separation or sour odors from the sauce, discard it immediately
