Recipe Information
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

Instructions
Wash the cucumber and cherry tomatoes thoroughly. Slice the cucumber into thin rounds and halve the cherry tomatoes.
Thinly slice the red onion and finely chop the parsley. Set the vegetables aside in a large salad bowl.
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.
Pour the tahini dressing over the prepared vegetables in the salad bowl.
Toss the salad gently until the dressing evenly coats the vegetables.
Serve immediately as a fresh and flavorful salad, or chill in the fridge for 10–15 minutes before serving for a refreshing twist.
