Creamy Sesame Turmeric Dip

Prep: 10 min

Total Time: 20 min

Servings: 10

Notes:

Add handfuls of herbs or a pinch of crushed red-pepper flakes.

Ingredients

8 ounces Cream Cheese or Ricotta, preferably room temperature

¾ cup Sour Cream or Labneh

¼ cup Tahini

2 tablespoons Water

Kosher Salt and Freshly Ground Pepper

¼ cup Extra-Virgin Olive Oil

2 tablespoons White Sesame Seeds

1 teaspoon Ground Turmeric

Flaky Sea Salt

Instructions

Combine the cream cheese, sour cream, tahini and water in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until well blended and creamy (alternatively, use a fork or spoon; there might just be a few lumps, which is actually fine). Season with salt and pepper.

Heat the olive oil and sesame seeds in a small skillet or pot over medium heat. Cook, swirling occasionally, until the sesame seeds are toasted and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the turmeric and remove from heat.

Transfer the cream cheese mixture to a cute serving bowl and top with the sesame-turmeric oil. Finish with flaky salt and more pepper before serving.
