Recipe Notes

* you may want to add up to ¼ cup warm water (or a bit little less, to obtain the thickness desired
^Lightly toast the sesame seeds ahead of time and allow to cool before adding,
if wanting to used toasted over raw seeds. I have used both and like both.
Serve with raw or baked veggies or the dip can become a scrumptious salad 'dressing'
