Salata Tahini--Middle Eastern Tahini Salad image

This recipe goes well with just about every middle eastern dish. Its very flavorful, one of my favorites. I make this at home, but I am not good at keeping measurements, so I snagged it off of the web and tweaked it, to the way I make it at home.*To spice it up you can also add chopped hot pepper to it as well*.

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tomatoes (cut into small or medium cubes)
2 cucumbers (cut into small or medium cubes)
1 garlic clove (finely smash)
1 cup tahini
1 lemon, juice of
1 1/2 cups water
1 tablespoon dried mint
olive oil (to garnish)
salt
hot serrano peppers (optional) or jalapeno pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • *May need to adjust tahini and water levels to desired consistency*. Consistency should be creamy.
  • Dice up tomatoes and cucumbers and combine them together in a medium bowl.
  • Place garlic, hot pepper and salt in a mortar.
  • Smash until mushed.
  • Tahini dressing takes a bit of stirring to become creamy so, you can either add tahini,and water in a bowl by itself and mix or you can add to the same bowl with the cucumbers and tomatoes.
  • Add lemon in increments to achieve desired tartness.
  • Stir the dressing until smooth and creamy.
  • combine everything including garlic/hot pepper together making sure you have added the mint.
  • Take tbsp of dried mint, Place in hand and take other hand and rub together, this will sort of grind the mint up smaller and separate it from any stems.
  • Place in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Serve with a swirl of olive oil on top.
  • Enjoy!
