Ingredients

  • ½ cup (120 ml) extra virgin olive oil [or water]
  • ¼ cup (35 g) sesame seeds, toasted
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1 lemon, peeled
  • 1 large (525 g) butternut squash [or other squash], peeled, cut into chunks, roasted

Directions

  1. Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
  2. Run the Dips & Spreads Program or start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed.  Blend for 60 seconds, using the tamper to push ingredients toward the blades.

Chef's Notes

  • This slightly-sweet recipe pairs perfectly with raw vegetables, and showcases a hummus without chickpeas. The Vitamix pulverizes the lemon and sesame seeds to form a delicious base without having to buy tahini or squeeze lemons.
