Refreshing Cucumber Salad with creamy tahini dressing, zesty lemon, garlic, and fresh herbs - simple and delicious!
Ingredients:
  • 1 1/2 pounds cucumbers, preferably thin-skinned such as Persian cucumbers
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons sesame tahini
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons warm water (or more depending on how thick your tahini is)
  • 1/2 clove garlic, minced (about 1/2 teaspoon)
  • Zest from 1 lemon
  • 1/3 cup red onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons mint, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons basil, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions:
  • Prepare the cucumbers by slicing them lengthwise, removing the seeds, and cutting them into 1/4-inch to 1/3-inch pieces. If the cucumber peels are thick or bitter, feel free to peel them; otherwise, you can leave them on.
  • Season and drain cucumbers: Season the seeded, diced cucumbers with a tablespoon of salt and place in a colander to drain in the sink while you prepare the rest of the ingredients and dressing.
  • Prepare the dressing: Combine tahini, lemon juice, and warm water in a large bowl until well mixed. Add garlic, lemon zest, and red onion, and stir until combined.
  • Rinse the cucumbers under cool water and pat them dry with paper towels in a colander.
  • Combine cucumbers with dressing, herbs, salt, and pepper. Chill before serving.
