Contributed by Eliran Sobel
Makes about 8 servings
Ingredients:
4 roma tomatoes
4 Persian cucumbers (the mini ones that usually come in a 6-pack at the store)
3.5 Tablespoons olive oil (I usually use 4.5 Tablespoons tahini to make it oil-free)
1 Tablespoon lemon juice, or to taste
½ Tablespoon za‘atar seasoning, or to taste
¼ teaspoon plus a pinch salt, or to taste
Directions:
Wash and dice the tomatoes and cucumbers (I leave the skins on, but you can peel them, too) into a large bowl or container.
Add the other ingredients and mix.
Taste, and adjust seasoning as needed.
If you want to be fancy, you can add add parsley, cilantro, and/or red onions as garnish, but I just like to keep it simple.
Refrigerate and serve very cold.
