Israeli Mixed Salad 🥗
Description:
A little time-consuming to prepare, but definitely worth it. You could dress the salad with sour cream, yogurt, or mayonnaise thinned with a little lemon juice instead of the Tahini Cream Salad Dressing if you wish. The Tahini Dressing is excellent by itself served with wedges of pita bread.
