Jerusalem Salad

We might have found a new favorite at the middle eastern restaurant (Haifa Cafe) we have been having lunch at downtown. It is called Jerusalem salad, and here is a recipe that I found on the web that looks like it would be pretty close to what we had today.

1/3 cup tahini
2 Tbs. Olive Oil
1-2 cloves garlic, crushed
Juice of 1/2 lemon
3 Tbs. parsley
Salt to taste
Water
1 cucumber
6 roma tomatoes, or 3 regular tomatoes
fresh chopped parsley

Directions:
Mix first 6 ingredients in a salad bowl; add water to thin the tahini. Stir thoroughly to make a dressing.

Dice cucumber and tomatoes. Toss in dressing with parsley. You can let this sit for an hour to allow the flavors to meld.
