sea salt, to taste
lemon zest, to taste

Place the spinach and basil in a food processor and chop finely. Add to a bowl.

Add the zucchini and the tofu to the food processor and process until smooth. Transfer the zucchini mixture to the bowl with the spinach. Mix by hand until combined. Add the tahini and mix well. Season with additional sea salt and lemon zest as needed.

  1. Jackie REVIEW:

    This is good but I think it has too much tahini in it. It kind of overpowered all the other flavors. I would have liked to taste more of the vegetables but the tahini was just a bit strong. I'd cut it in half to start.
