Author Note: Richly textured and exotic, this is the party dip you've been waiting for! The lemony tahini base gets a boost from tart feta cheese.
Chupa Note: the original recipe called for 13 Tablespoons of tahini!!! That's almost a cup! One quarter cup worked fine, and cut back on the fat. If you want more of that nutty taste, add more tahini.
