    Wow, I just made this and ate it with some baked snack bread and it was amazing! At first I was a little overwhelmed by the amount of lemon but that was when I tried it with nothing.. but on a snack like the one I mentioned above, it went together very well.

    I ate them with Grissol Crispy Baguett - 3/9/11

    The picture is deceiving. Sun-dried tomato wouldn't make a white dip. - 8/3/12

    For everyone looking to substitute for tahini, try all natural peanut butter - the kind without sugar. It won't taste exactly the same but for my meat and potatoes Midwestern family, they prefer the taste to tahini. - 8/3/12

    Find Tahini in bulk, which is cheaper and at the health food store. I'd like to know what makes the dip look like there is sour cream or yogurt in it in the picture? - 7/9/12

    Fresh out of the blender, this is just alright. It may improve after sitting overnight and blending more, but so far I wouldn't say it's worth the chopping effort. Also, this may not be the best mid-day snack if you plan on breathing near anyone right afterward due to the garlic. - 8/8/11
