Crudités with lemon-parsley tahini dip

Dietary considerations: gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian, vegan
This tangy dip is made from tahini, a sesame paste that’s also used to make hummus. I love creating a crudité platter using unexpected vegetables like watermelon radishes, Romanesco broccoli, and heirloom carrots — the more colorful, the better! You’ll notice that there are not specific amounts for the vegetables in the recipe — just use whatever combination you like.

INGREDIENTS
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 lemons)
- 1 clove garlic ; minced
- 1/2 cup fresh flat leaf parsley leaves (Italian)
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 3 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- Sea Salt and Freshly Ground Pepper
- Carrots
- Raw Snap Peas
- Broccoli and/or Cauliflower cut into florets
- Radishes halved
- Watermelon Radishes ; halved
- fennel slices
INSTRUCTIONS
For the dip: In a small bowl, stir together the lemon juice and garlic and let sit for 2-3 minutes (this takes a bit of the edge off the raw garlic). Transfer to a food processor, add the parsley and tahini, and pulse until the mixture has the consistency of a thick paste. With the motor running, add the olive oil in a slow, steady stream. Add 2 tablespoons of water and blend until completely smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Place vegetables on plate, service with Tahini Dip.
