Preparation

Step 1

1. Place all ingredients in food processor and blend until smooth, adding more lemon if necessary to obtain desired consistency. The blending can take as long as 3-4 minutes Be patient it comes out better!
2. I have made this a lot lately and I have come to learn that I must follow the directions EXACTLY especially with the Tahini paste.
3. Refrigerate for several hours. May be made a week ahead of time.
4. Serve with Pita Bread or Pita Chips or your fingers. They all taste great with it!
