Ingredients
For the dressing
3 Lime Tahini Sauce recipe, Use this recipe to make it

For the salad

1.5 large English cucumber (seeded and diced into small cubes)
3 to 6 tomatoes (vine-ripe, diced into small cubes)
3 small jalapeno pepper (chopped, remove the seeds for less spicy)
1.5 tsp Aleppo pepper (optional)
Kosher salt (to taste)
lime juice (if needed)

Instructions
1. 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).
2. 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.

Notes
Leftover tahini salad can be stored in the fridge in a tight-lid container for about 4 days.
