Time 10m

Yield Serves four to six (the recipe makes about 2/3 cup dressing)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 pounds tomatoes, or a mixture of red and green tomatoes, cored and sliced
4 tablespoons sesame tahini
1/3 cup water
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 to 2 garlic cloves
Salt to taste
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds, lightly toasted and ground
Freshly ground pepper or Aleppo pepper to taste
1 to 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Arrange the sliced tomatoes on a platter.
  • Mix together the tahini, water and lemon juice. Combine the garlic with 1/4 teaspoon salt in a mortar and pestle, and mash to a paste. Stir into the tahini mixture. Add the cumin, then salt and pepper (or Aleppo pepper) to taste. Thin out with water if the dressing is too thick to pour. Drizzle over the sliced tomatoes, sprinkle on the parsley and serve.
