If there is one salad you want to try this week, let it be this tahini salad. It is absolutely delicious. That nutty flavor of tahini mixed with the acidity of lemon juice, a little bit of garlic, salt and pepper, a little bit of water to thin out the dressing make this salad so delicious. This salad is meant to have a lot of dressing and have the vegetables kind of drown in them. The vegetables are pretty similar to saladi and honestly many other salads in the region. This is one of those salads that you really want to serve with a spoon.
