  • 1 can beans, drained and rinsed
  • ⅔ cup Greek yogurt, plain
  • 2 T sesame seeds
  • juice of half a lemon
  • ½ T garlic & herb seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon toasted sesame oil, optional

Instructions
 

  • Drain and rinse the beans
  • Place the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium-low heat.
  • Toast for approximately 3–5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they're fragrant and very lightly golden. Allow them to cool
  • Combine the beans, Greek yogurt, toasted sesame seeds, lemon juice, garlic & herb seasoning, cumin, salt and pepper
  • If you already have toasted sesame oil, you can add a small amount for additional sesame flavor. It's completely optional.
  • Blend until the dip is smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
  • If the dip is still thicker than you'd like after blending thoroughly, add a small amount of water or additional lemon juice.
  • Taste before adding anything else.
  • If the dip tastes flat, try a little more salt or lemon before adding additional ingredients.
