How to Make Cucumber and Tomato Tahini Salad
This is literally so simple to throw together!
Step 1: Prep everything.
As always, start by prepping everything. For this recipe, that means chopping everything up. I do small chunks for my cucumbers and tomatoes, but you can make these any size your heart desires. I’ll then coarsely chop my parsley and dill, and finely chop my mint.
Step 2: Mix everything!
Now just combine the cucumbers, tomatoes, fresh herbs, honey tahini sauce, salt and red pepper flakes. Stir until incorporated and enjoy!
