Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 Lime Tahini Sauce recipe,
1/2 large English cucumber ((seeded and diced into small cubes))
1 to 2 tomatoes ((vine-ripe, diced into small cubes))
1 small jalapeno pepper ((chopped, remove the seeds for less spicy))
1/2 tsp Aleppo pepper ((optional))
Kosher salt ((to taste))
lime juice ((if needed))

Steps:

For the dressing, make my lime tahini sauce recipe by blending tahini paste, lime juice, water, kosher salt together, then stir in a good cup of parsley. You can do this one night ahead of time and save it covered in the fridge. (If the tahini sauce becomes thicker as it sits in the fridge, you can stir in more lime juice or water to loosen it).
To make the salad, in a medium mixing bowl, combine the tahini sauce with the diced cucumbers, tomatoes, and jalapeno. Add the Aleppo-style pepper, if using. Mix well. Taste and add salt to your liking. And if needed, add more lime juice.

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!
