Creamy Zucchini-Lime Dressing

Creamy Zucchini-Lime Dressing

A no-cook sauce with huge flavor? Yes, please! All you need is a blender, zucchini, and some pantry staples, and this super-versatile sauce comes together with the touch of a button. Nutty tahini adds rich flavor and creaminess, which gets a lovely lift from the hit of lime juice. Pick up fresh zucchini from the farmers market if you can—local varieties are flavor champs compared to those you’ll find at the grocery store. Try it with grilled eggplant or chicken for a hint of Persian flavor.

Serves 16 (serving size: 1 1/2 tbsp.)

1/2 cup olive oil
1 small garlic clove
