Transfer mixture to a blender. Add remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.

Immediately pour mixture into a lightly oiled bowl or decorative mold. Let cool, then refrigerate, covered, for several hours. Remove from mold before serving and serve sliced into wedges.

Note from Karen: I substituted peanut butter for the tahini, and didn't use any onion granules at all. Tasted great to me. :) Adapted from JoAnne Stepaniak's recipe in "The Uncheese Cookbook" Typed for you by Karen Mintzias Submitted By KAREN MINTZIAS On 12-12-94
