80--- Green Tahini Dip

Sometimes your veggies just need a little something to dive into to make them more desirable.  



Why not add some healthy fats with tahini while you're at it?

Tahini is a paste made from ground sesame seeds.  It is high in minerals and healthy fats too!  This green version is delicious and can be used as a dressing as well.
