1 1/2 c. tahini (sesame seed paste)
1 1/2 c. yogurt or buttermilk
1 med. clove crushed garlic
1/2 c. fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/4 c. finely minced scallions
1/4 c. finely minced parsley
Salt to taste
Dash or two of cayenne
Dash or two of paprika
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
Dash or two of tamari

Beat well using a whisk, wooden spoon or even electric mixer. The more you whip the thicker it becomes. Slightly increase the ratio of yogurt or buttermilk to tahini and use it as a hearty salad dressing. Serve room temperature on hot falafel or vegetables or chilled on a salad.
