Cucumbers with Tahini and Crumbled Feta Cheese

Seedless cucumbers have softer skin so you don’t need to peel them if you don’t want to. Just rinse and cut into thin slices. For best results, sprinkle a little salt on them and place them in a colander over a bowl to drain out some of the water. When ready to serve, pour the tahini sauce over the cucumber slices and top with the crumbled feta cheese. Add additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Note: If you’d like to make your own tahini sauce, mix together 1/4 cup of sesame paste (should be available in the ethic foods section of your market), 1/4 cup of water and 1/4 cup of lemon juice until thoroughly combined. Add salt and pepper to your taste. Peel and lightly smash a garlic clove and place it inside the sauce. Cover and refrigerate for at least a couple of hours for the garlic to perfume the sauce. If the sauce thickens too much at any time during refrigeration, you can thin it out with a bit of water and correct the seasoning.
