So, tested the food hack where you add zucchini to tahini to lower the calories and it works, but only if you limit the zucchini to tahini ratio. The resulting tahini dip was 66% fewer calories per tablespoon.

  1. To make approx 3/4 cup of tahini dip blend the following:

    * 1/4 c tahini
    * 1/2 cup hot water
    * 1/2 zucchini
    * 1/2 clove garlic
    * lemon juice from 1/2 lemon
    * salt

    If you add any more zucchini it starts tasting like mashed zucchini. One recipe actually called for 1 lb of zucchini to 1 T tahini which is ridiculous.

    Resulting dip is about 33 cals per T.

    This is awesome! Do you know if it keeps well in the fridge for a couple of days? Or would it get super watery from the zucchini?
