Move Over Avocado Toast – Tahini Veggie Toast Is In Town!

Move over avocados because there’s a new toast topper in town! I have a slight (okay, not so slight) obsession with tahini. Loaded with good-for-you-fats and low in belly-bloating carbs, tahini is simply ground up sesame seeds mixed with lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper. The Israeli staple is the perfect salad dressing, veggie dip, and, you guessed it, toast topper spread! I like to add a layer of cucumbers for extra crunch, a heaping mound of alfalfa sprouts, and a few toasted sesame seeds. Try it!

The recipe below is made with a plain tahini sauce. But you can also play around and experiment with different flavored tahini. Watch as I share 3 flavor variations: green basil, roasted red pepper sriracha, and curry:
