Ingredients

1 large zucchini peeled and chopped (or two smaller ones)

2 T. sesame seeds

1 T. olive oil

tiny piece of garlic (or use powder)

salt to taste

1/2 to 1 t. ground cumin

1 T. acv (you could also use lemon juice)

dash of cayenne pepper

Recipe Directions

Throw it all in the blender and blend until perfectly smooth. You may need to add a little water, the homegrown squashes have a higher water content than store bought. If you want soup, add a little more water. I am going to eat this on a salad of fresh greens, tomatoes, cucumbers and cauliflower with a little parsley on top and maybe an olive or two. It made alot, so I am going to try it on different combinations. Easy and delicious.

It could also be thinned to make a delicious soup. It's basically a thinned down, one step, hummus.

Tahini would work beautifully. I just didn't have any when I made this!
