This is a really quick and tasty dip! It takes inspiration from tahini dip and steps it up a notch. Miso and lemon combine to give it a nice tangy kick. It can be eaten as a dip, or diluted a bit for a very yummy salad dressing.

  • 1/2 cup sesame seeds
  • 1/2 cup pine nuts
  • 1/2 cup cashews, soaked

  • 1 lemon, squeezed
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 2-3 garlic cloves
