Ingredients
For the dressing
- ⅓ cup tahini paste
- ⅓ cup lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves pressed
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
For the salad
- 2 Persian cucumbers diced
- 2 Roma tomatoes diced
- ½ red onion diced
- ¼ green pepper diced
- ¼ cup fresh parsley chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint chopped
Instructions
- Place the tahini paste in a large serving bowl. Add the lemon juice, garlic and salt. Use a whisk or fork to combine the mixture until it forms a paste-like consistency.
- Slowly add water to the mixture and continue whisking until it’s smooth and well blended.
- Add the cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions, green pepper, parsley and mint on top and toss to combine.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. If possible, keep the veggies and dressing separately, as this will keep them crisp and fresher.
Toss before serving. As it sits, this tahini salad will continue producing more liquid, so it's best to stir it to ensure everything is blended well.
