Ingredients

• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 medium Red onion
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
• 3 tablespoons Tahini
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 clove Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash the cucumber and cherry tomatoes thoroughly. Slice the cucumber into thin rounds and halve the cherry tomatoes.

Step 2

Thinly slice the red onion and finely chop the parsley. Set the vegetables aside in a large salad bowl.

Step 3

In a small mixing bowl, prepare the tahini dressing by combining tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, water, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Add more water for a thinner consistency if desired.

Step 4

Pour the tahini dressing over the prepared vegetables in the salad bowl.

Step 5

Toss the salad gently until the dressing evenly coats the vegetables.

Step 6

Serve immediately as a fresh and flavorful salad, or chill in the fridge for 10–15 minutes before serving for a refreshing twist.
