Tahini Dip

We adore this dip and make it about once a month for dressing salads, or as a dip for crackers or raw veggies. It has an almost cheese-like quality to it that is just so good. I have also put it over pasta and used it as a spread for sandwiches and wraps. It is very versatile and great to have on hand.

Ingredients:

1 cup tahini

1 cup room temperature water

3 tbsp lemon juice

1/4 cup nutritional yeast

2 tbsp Braggs or tamari

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1 1/2 tsp liquid smoke

Directions:

Put the tahini in a bowl or jar and whisk in the water 1/4 cup at a time until the tahini has lightened in color and is the consistency you would like for your dressing or dip. It is important to add the water to the tahini before adding any other ingredients because if you don't go in that order the tahini will "break" and the oil will separate.

Once your tahini is blended with the water and creamy you can whisk in the rest of the ingredients.
