     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

     You can make your own Tahini by toasting 2 cups of sesame seeds and then adding 2 Tbsp of olive oil while running it through a blender or food processor until it forms a paste. Store it in an air tight jar in the fridge. - 8/3/13

     The picture looks awesome... what in the actual recipe is making it white? I see no yogurt or sour cream in it. Has it been omitted in the recipe? - 8/3/13

     This actually sounds great, but could you please try posting photos to go along accurately with the dish? (NO 5 stars ever until that happens.) - 9/20/12

     Wow the dip should count as a vegetable serving! - 3/8/11

     Didn't have any tomato paste but was eager to make it anyway, so I went ahead and it still tastes amazing! Don't listen to everyone else who says it isn't worth the effort. Definitely was, especially if you're a zucchini lover. - 6/9/13
  • LINROSIE
     WOW !!! What a delicious dip !! I used diced sun-dried tomatoes (as that's what I had in fridge). - 8/3/12

     Delicious, even without the tahini! - 3/4/13

     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

     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

     UNLIKE ANY DIP I HAVE HAD BEFORE. IT WAS AMAZINGLY GOOD. - 7/30/19
  • MENTAL-TRAFFIC
     Made this and wasn't super impressed at first but then I started dipping cherry tomatoes in it and fell in love. The recipe is light u could almost just eat it with a spoon [like a gazpacho] so dousing the tomatoes in it was super yummy and don't make u feel stuffed! Will def make this again - 6/21/17

     The picture accompanying this recipe makes it look creamy like a dip. I followed the recipe exactly (except for the water---I only used 1/8 c or less), and it came out soupy and watery, and not at all like a dip. The lemon flavor was overwhelming. Wonder if there's an ingredient missing in recipe. - 6/6/14

     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

     I would give this a solid 4-1/2 stars. I did add a small amount of salt to mine otherwise my husband would not have eaten any but with the salt ~ hubby approved. I will make this again - 7/22/20
