Tahini Salad
A Middle Eastern salad drizzled with lemon tahini dressing.
Ingredients
For the salad:
- 3 tomatoes
- 1 cucumber optional
- ½ tablespoon parsley chopped
for the tahini dressing:
- 2 tablespoons tahini paste
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons water cold
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
To make the tahini dressing
- In a bowl, mix all the ingredients together. The tahini mixture will become watery, then it will shrink, and then again it will become a bit loose while you mix. If your tahini dressing is too thick, add a little bit of cold water and mix again. Adjust ingredients to your liking.
To make the salad
- Chop the tomatoes and the cucumber into cubes. Add the tahini dressing and mix the salad.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve.
Notes
- If you're making this tahini salad to add to a falafel burger or wrap, then make sure that your tahini dressing is not too watery.
- If you're making this tahini salad to serve on its own with bread, then add a little bit more water to make the tahini a bit watery and perfect for dipping.
- You will end up with around 80ml of dressing.
