equal parts tahini (sesame seed paste/butter), water and lemon juice.
So easy, good on steamed vegetables, salad dressing, on pasta,
falafel... whatever.

Tahini with water, soy sauce, and a little hot sauce is great on pasta.
You can do the same with a natural (no sugar) peanut butter.

Tahini is weird stuff. add a little water and it stiffens like plaster.
Keep adding water and it'll thin out. Let the sauce rest a few
minutes and it'll get smooth and creamy.

Thanks for the recipe and the tip. It's been awhile since we've had such a
thing on this newsgroup...

No thanks to aggressive Asperger-wannabes like you. Has W stopped taking
your calls?

BTW, you were quiet when buzzgun wanted suggestions for his fourteen
pounds of mixed beans.

Thank you. I've posted this recipe before but it bears repeating.
I've been hooked on salads of romaine and black olives with the tahini
sauce all summer.

I finally tried the mayo recipe on the back of the "Ener-G" egg replacer
box.... eh, okay. I'll stick to buying
"Veganaise".http://www.followyourheart.com/vegenaise.html

What are you talking about?? Are you on drugs or something?

I've posted recipes with beans before. And there're lots of bean recipes on
the web. Beans are one of my favorite ingredients because they are high in
protein and fiber and because they're so versatile. You can use them with
rice, pasta, tortillas, vegetables, or featured by themselves. I would
choose beans as the best bang for the buck if I were on a strict budget.
