Arrange the sliced tomatoes on a platter.
Mix together the tahini, water and lemon juice. Combine the garlic with ¼ teaspoon salt in a mortar and pestle, and mash to a paste. Stir into the tahini mixture. Add the cumin, then salt and pepper (or Aleppo pepper) to taste. Thin out with water if the dressing is too thick to pour. Drizzle over the sliced tomatoes, sprinkle on the parsley and serve.
Terrific sauce for a raw vegetable salad -- tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes and onion, for instance. Or add to a sandwich in a pita.
Tasty. Made with new squeeze bottle tahini. Made it easier but it was thinner than regular tahini so should start with less water.
I agree with the others, the tahini needs way less water and more lemon or garlic. I did use some crusty bread to sop up the wet dressing and it was really good!
Not strong enough, instead of water, use lemon juice to thin it? More Garlic?
It was too watered down because I used Trader Joe's tahini which is very creamy. Next time I'll use more tahini and less water or another more concentrated brand of tahini. I liked the taste.
This was just delicious. Simple and easy! I have made this a number of times, as written and adjusting the amount of parsley, adding basil and mint, whatever fresh herbs are in my garden. Adding a little red onion, or not, gives it some more zip. Good tomatoes are a must!
