Hummus with Spring Veggies

The third week of my CSA from Sugar Camp Farm brought carrots, radishes, baby turnips, kale, lettuces, spring onions, and kale. With radishes from a friend's garden I had a bountiful harvest and needed a way to use it all. Hence, hummus dip. The creamy, tahini-rich dip is the perfect complement with the crisp young veggies. Don't hold back on the tahini or the oil in this recipe. It's what makes it super creamy.
