Why You'll Love ItIt just simply delish! I honestly have to give credit to the Once Again company that makes my favorite tahini. I found this recipe on the back of the tahini jar and fell in love with it. Photo by Ludovic Avice on Unsplash

Recipe Notes
- Try adding a small amount, about 1/4 cup of roasted red peppers for a delicious savory hummus.
- Try using the lemon balm instead of Italian parsley. Both are good, but fresh lemon balm from the summer garden is my absolute favorite.
- Sprinkle smoked paprika on top.
- Use within 3 - 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- To use after freezing, thaw completely in the refrigerator, then stir well. If the texture seems not as smooth as you would like, place in your blender and add a little drizzle of olive oil or lemon juice and blend for about 30 seconds.
