Now these are the wonderful final recipes from the Middle Eastern Inspired meal I cooked a few days ago. The Avocado Dip is simple to make and tastes good when used with the wholemeal pitta and carrot sticks which I served them with. The Tahini & Yoghurt Dressing tasted lovely with the hot meal but not so much the next day as a salad topping! Don't know until you try eh? lol I hope you try them...the recipes are from A Vegan Taste of the Middle Eastby Linda Majzilk.

Peel the avocados and mash them in a bowl with the lemon juice until smooth. Add the tahini, olive oil and garlic and season with black pepper. Mix very well, transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with the paprika.
