Lebanese Guacamole. This tasty spread goes very well on crisp pita bread slices. Diabetic friendly, it's also rich in potassium and unsaturated fat.
Place lemon juice and tahini in a blender or food processor and blend for a moment. Pit and peel avocados and cut into pieces. Add remaining ingredients except paprika into the tahini/lemon mixture and blend to a smooth paste. Place on a flat serving platter; sprinkle with paprika and serve as is or chilled. Serve with toasted pita or arrancas (a crispy Arabic bread).
Note: tahini gives a strong flavor to this dish. Reduce quantity of tahini or increase avocados to taste.
