How to Make Tahini Dressing Over Mediterranean Salad
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup tahini, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 clove garlic (minced), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Taste the dressing. If you prefer a sweeter dressing, add 1 teaspoon of brown sugar or maple syrup. Try it without sweetener first to appreciate the natural flavors.
- If the dressing is too thick, whisk in 1-2 teaspoons of water or lemon juice until desired consistency is reached.
- Prepare your favorite Mediterranean vegetables: Chop 1 cup cucumber, 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, and 1/2 cup bell peppers (any color).
- Add 1/2 cup cooked chickpeas to the salad.
- Arrange the vegetables and chickpeas on a plate.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remember the dressing is already flavorful!
- Crumble 1/4 cup feta cheese over the salad.
- Drizzle the tahini dressing generously over the salad.
- Serve immediately and enjoy! The dressing is also delicious over falafel, other vegetables, and grains.
- For picnics, pack the salad and dressing separately and combine just before serving.
