Frequently Asked Questions About Piyaz sauce
What is Piyaz sauce?
Piyaz sauce is a Turkish tahini dressing, typically made with lemon and garlic and thinned with water. It is closely associated with bean piyaz, especially the tahini-rich version served in Antalya.
How do you make Piyaz sauce from scratch?
Whisk tahini with lemon juice, crushed garlic, salt, and a little water to make Piyaz sauce. Add the water gradually, whisking until smooth and pourable; use bean-cooking liquid for an Antalya-style bean salad.
Does Piyaz sauce contain tahini?
Yes, tahini is the defining ingredient in the tahini-based Piyaz sauce. Lemon and garlic give it its bright, savory flavor, while water loosens the sesame paste into a dressing.
What does Piyaz sauce taste like?
Piyaz sauce tastes creamy and nutty from tahini, with a tangy lemon note and a savory garlic finish. Its flavor is richer than a simple lemon dressing and pairs particularly well with beans.
Is Piyaz sauce the same as tahini sauce?
Piyaz sauce is a Turkish style of tahini sauce, but the names do not always mean exactly the same recipe. Piyaz sauce is commonly seasoned with lemon and garlic and served with bean piyaz.
How do you keep Piyaz sauce from getting too thick?
Thin Piyaz sauce with water a little at a time while whisking. Tahini can thicken as it sits, so stir in another small splash before serving; bean-cooking liquid also works well for piyaz.
Why does Piyaz sauce separate?
Piyaz sauce can separate as it stands because the liquid and tahini do not stay perfectly blended. Whisk it again before serving, adding a little water if it has become too thick to combine smoothly.
Can you make Piyaz sauce without garlic?
Yes, you can leave garlic out of Piyaz sauce, though the result will have a milder, less savory flavor. Keep the tahini and lemon, then adjust the water and salt to make a smooth dressing.
How should you store homemade Piyaz sauce?
Store homemade Piyaz sauce in a covered container in the refrigerator. Stir it before using, since it may thicken or separate while chilled, and add a little water to restore a pourable consistency.
What can you serve with Piyaz sauce besides beans?
Piyaz sauce also works as a dressing for roasted vegetables or salads and as a sauce for grilled foods. Its lemony tahini flavor is especially suited to dishes that benefit from a creamy, savory topping.

What is Piyaz sauce?
Piyaz sauce is a Turkish tahini dressing, especially associated with Antalya-style piyaz. Tahini is blended with lemon juice, garlic and often a little vinegar, then loosened with water until creamy and pourable. Its flavour is nutty and savoury, balanced by a bright tang and a gentle garlic note.
It is traditionally spooned over piyaz, a bean salad, and also works alongside köfte or grilled meats as a meze or side. Tahini makes the sauce energy-dense and rich in fat, with some protein and fibre; it contains 28 g of fat per 100 g. For a lighter serving, use a small drizzle or thin it with water and lemon, then toss it through plenty of salad.
