Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 lbs firm tomatoes, seeded and finely chopped
3 small pickling cucumbers, such as Kirby cucumbers or 1 English cucumber, finely chopped
5 scallions, white and light green parts only, finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
2 cups of finely chopped romaine lettuce hearts, packed
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup sesame paste, plus more if needed (tahini)
2 tablespoons white vinegar
salt and black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Combine the tomatoes, cucumbers, scallions, bell peppers, and lettuce in a large mixing bowl.
  • In another bowl, whisk the lemon juice, olive oil, tahini, vinegar, salt, and pepper together until the dressing is creamy and pale. If the dressing is too thick, gradually and a little water, whisking, until it reaches the desired consistency. If it is too thin, gradually add more tahini.
  • Just before serving, pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss thoroughly to coat. Serve immediately, to prevent the salad from becoming soggy.

I found this salad to be a bit too tangy for my taste. I would recommend using less lemon juice.
