Creamy Cucumber-Tahini Dressing



Paired delightfully with the Steamed Collard Wraps*, this dressing is so easy to make! 

1 cucumber, sliced in half, lengthwise, seeded and chopped
¼ cup raw tahini
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
½ teaspoon salt
1 clove garlic
2 tablespoons minced red onion
1 teaspoon ground coriander

Put all the ingredients in a blender or food processor.  Process until smooth and creamy, stopping occasionally to scrape down the blender jar or work bowl.  Stored in a covered container in the refrigerator, dressing will keep for 3 days.  Shake well before each use.

Makes 2 cups
