This healthy and flavorful sauce with lime, garlic and sesame paste pairs beautifully with asparagus.

Sautéed Asparagus with Lime and Tahini

3 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons tahini
1 garlic clove(s), minced
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound asparagus, trimmed and chopped

In a bowl, whisk together lime juice, tahini, garlic and 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the asparagus and sauté until it begins to soften and gets slightly browned, about 4-6 minutes.

Drizzle the tahini mixture on top of asparagus and serve.
