    Please suggest a substitute for Tahini, my daughter is allergic to sesame seeds. Thanks

      Hmmmm that’s tricky. I know people sometimes replace tahini in conventional hummus recipes with a combo of olive oil and cumin. You could try that, but the dip may have more of a dressing consistency….of course,that may not be a bad thing!
