The combination of creamy tofu and tahini creates a smooth and velvety texture, while garlic, lemon juice, and spices add a burst of flavor. This easy-to-make recipe is perfect as a snack, appetizer, or spread for sandwiches and wraps. It's also a great option for those following a vegetarian or vegan diet.
