This make-ahead recipe is ideal for cocktail party. The combination of the lemon and mint, tempered by the toasted sesame seeds works perfectly with smoked salmon.
Make this the day before your party. It will taste even better.
It can also be made as a snack. My students loved it on crackers, Â on our group favorite Mary’s Gone Crackers.
