Tahini Veggie Dip
On a hot, summer day, just munching on a plate of cold veggies is sometimes the perfect lunchtime meal. Normally, a little Ranch Style dressing is the first thing we think to grab in my family. Even though that is yummy and simple, when you want to kick it up a notch or two, this tahini dip makes your veggie nibbling come alive!
2 tbsp tahini (sesame paste)
2 tbsp water
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp soy sauce
In a small glass bowl whisk together the tahini and water. At first, the mixture might look like it is curdling because the natural oils in the tahini won’t blend easily with the water. Keep whisking and you’ll find that eventually it will make a nice smooth cream.
Add the lemon juice, olive oil, and soy sauce. Then taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
This delicious dip can be served as an appetizer or lunchtime meal with crunchy raw vegetables and even crackers or breadsticks.
