For those of you who are new to the idea of using tahini- I think you'll find it's a great addition to your pantry. Tahini is just ground up sesame seeds, and it's what makes my homemade hummus so creamy and delicious. It's not cheap- I think the jar is around $8, but it seriously lasts forever because you only use a couple spoonfuls at a time. In my grocery store, the tahini is next to the peanut butter in the natural foods section.
Ingredients:
1 avocado
2 T tahini
2 T lemon juice
2 T water (or more)
1 garlic clove
salt to taste
Cut open avocado, scoop out the flesh & spoon into your food processor. Add all other ingredients & pulse until it forms a uniform sauce. If the sauce is too thick for your liking, add more water until it reaches your desired texture. I usually use 2 or 3 tablespoons of water. Makes 4-6 servings.
