Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) put everything in a food processor and blend well. If you don't have one mix well until smooth & creamy in texture. This sauce is good for a variety of things:it can be used as a salad dressing or served as a sauce poured over steamed or roasted vegetables (it is great with roasted eggplant). It can also be served as a dip with raw vegetables. It can be served chilled or at room temperature. When ready to serve sprinkle sesame seeds over top. |
