Yield 2 servings

Ingredients:

• 2 tomatoes, cut into small or medium cubes
• 2 cucumbers, cut into small or medium cubes
• 2 clove garlic, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup tahini
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 tablespoon dried mint
• Olive oil (to garnish)
• Salt
• 1 hot chili pepper, chopped 

Method:

1. Dice up tomatoes and cucumbers, and combine them together in a medium bowl.

2. Crush your garlic, hot pepper and salt in a mortar. Add them in the bowl to your tomatoes and cucumbers.

3. Meanwhile, make the tahini sauce. Add the tahini, salt, lemon and water in a separate bowl and mix well. Tahini dressing takes a bit of stirring to blend well and become creamy.

4. Pour dressing onto the salad, mix, and add the mint.

5. Place in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to blend and for the dressing to marinate with the tomatoes and cucumbers.

6. Serve with a swirl of olive oil on top. Enjoy !
