Thanks You could probably use a different nut or seed butter other than tahini - something like cashew butter or almond butter would be mild enough to not change the flavor; peanut butter could work but that's a much stronger flavor. --Deb R

Make some red pepper hummus. Black olive hummus, plain hummus w/lemon juice, garlic hummus.... It is super simple to make your own or find ones without sesame. (tahini)
