DIRECTIONS:
- Puree first 3 ingredients in a food processor then add the tahini, cumin and lemon juice. Blend to combine and while processor is running, slowly drizzle in olive oil. Adjust thickness with the amount of oil and lemon juice used. Best is a very thick texture if using in wraps such as Nori leaves.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
- To serve as a dip, transfer to a bowl and drizzle with additional olive oil, sprinkle with lemon zest and cayenne pepper or paprika and enjoy with veggie crudités such as carrot, zucchini or jicama, baby romaine, spinach, nori or endive leaves and gluten free or sprouted crackers.
TERI'S TIPS
