Instructions

Combine all ingredients, except olive oil, in a blender or food processor container. Blend or process till smooth. Remove to a bowl and stir olive oil in by hand. Serve with crudites, crackers, pita chips, etc.
If, after being refrigerated, the dip is too thick, it can be thinned with a bit of water.

Notes

* Tahini is an everyday product at Middle Eastern markets and is becoming more and more common at larger grocery stores but you can also purchase it online (this is a super buy, 2 large jars for 10.49 - and free shipping if you have Amazon Prime). Once you've opened tahini, store it in the refrigerator to keep it from getting rancid.
** Neufchâtel cheese will usually be found right next to the cream cheese in the dairy section of the grocery store. It's lower in fat and has a slightly higher moisture content. If you can't find it or don't want to run out and buy it, cream cheese will work just fine.
