Asian Eggplant dip is super easy and very tasty. It is a great option to have on the buffet table as it is gluten free, vegan, low-fat and generally hypo-allergenic, although I’m sure someone has an allergy to sesame seeds or eggplants but it does tick some politically correct eating boxes. Serve it up with a variety of gourmet rice crackers or vegetable dippers for an amazingly simple and flavorful Asian Appetizer.
