Low in fat Tahini-peas chickpeas dressing

Low-Fat Tahini-Chickpea Dressing

Recipe of today is brought to you by letter D… not d for "dressing" but d as in my husband D, who cannot get enough of this sauce. It has been paid on salads and rain on sandwiches, since I have for the first time (we are now on our second batch). I do not think that he realized the low fat content is because my secret ingredient (chickpeas) magically amplifies the tahini flavor, making it taste as it contains many more sesame paste that really. In his words, it is a bold dressing, spiced with a bit of a bite of lemon juice, raw garlic and ginger root. It has manly, Yes, but I like it too!
