White Bean Dip

This recipe was adapted from a recipe on drfuhrman.com. Use it with crudites, whole grain crackers or whole wheat pita wedges. It goes great with a nice crisp salad. If you don't have a high speed blender, you can replace the raw sesame seed and 5 tablespoons water with 2 tablespoons tahini and 2 tablespoons water. Mrs. Dash seasoning mix works well in this recipe but I like the AHA herb mix I make myself even better. I've uploaded the AHA recipe on food.com.
