Also served often was bread with tahin-dip. This was "raw" tahin (just the very liquid paste) mixed with water, lemon juice, garlic, and salt.
Thought I'd make a slightly different salad, and use the tahindip as dressing instead.
Details:
Diced cucumber, sliced red onion, and chopped red bell pepper. Crumbled soft feta-like cheese.
Tahin-dressing, and topped with roasted almonds and cilantro. Also mixed in some cottage cheese to get it used, and eaten with a slice of dark bread on the side.
Result:
The cottage cheese did nothing for the experience, but the tahin is awesome! Also nice with something that didn't cater to the umami or sweet tastebuds. Very summer-like, for the grey weather.
Post the recipe for the dressing! Do iiiiiiiiit :D

1. Take the tahin in a small bowl, stir in garlic, a little water, a a little lemon, and salt.
3. Add a little more water, and stir well until combined, continue until it has a dressing-like consistency (might thicken a bit first, just add more water)
