Vegan Veggie Dip: Tahini Dill

A Favorite Dip for Bite-size Veggies

Are you looking for a healthy veggie dip? Maybe an alternative to store-bought Ranch dressing which seems to be as much of a staple in American households as ketchup?

While I love homemade ranch dressing, I like to mix up the dips offered to my family at lunch or for snack. This full-flavored dip is one of our favorites! I just got a thumbs-up “yum” from my five-year old the other day!

A Nutritional, Versatile Vegan Veggie Dip: Tahini Dill

This dip is so versatile! Great for every-day snacking or for parties. Surround it with fresh, chopped veggies and lightly-toasted, whole-grain pita bread. Add a bowl of mixed olives and you’ve got yourself a mediterranean spread.

With some added water, this dip transforms into a delicious, creamy dressing for salads.

Sesame seeds are rich in beneficial minerals. Tahini contains 20% protein, making it a satisfying staple for lunch or in-between meals. Incorporate more Tahini in your family’s diet with my recipe for Garbanzo Bean Hummus.

Ingredients

Fresh Ingredients for Tahini Dill Dip

• 6 T. sesame Tahini (sesame seed paste)

• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• 1/2 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed

• 3 T. apple cider vinegar

• 2 T. extra-virgin olive oil

• 2 T. honey (raw, local honey is best)

• 4 tsp. dill, dried or use 4 T. fresh dill (the flavor of dried herbs is so much stronger than fresh)

• 1 tsp. sea salt

• fresh water as needed (drizzle in to achieve the consistency you want)

Directions

Juice Enough Fresh Lemons to Measure 1/2 Cup.

Combine All the Ingredients in a Blender.

Blend Until Smooth. Just a Touch of Water Did the Trick.
