LEBANESE TUNA TAHINI SALAD
I've recently discovered tahini and absolutely love it! In this healther adaptation of tuna salad, tahini replaces mayonnaise as the emulsifier and adds unique flavor along with the Middle Eastern spices. I like to add apples to my tuna salad for a contrasting sweet, tart flavor.

SALATA TAHINI--MIDDLE EASTERN TAHINI SALAD
This recipe goes well with just about every middle eastern dish. Its very flavorful, one of my favorites. I make this at home, but I am not good at keeping measurements, so I snagged it off of the web and tweaked it, to the way I make it at home.*To spice it up you can also add chopped hot pepper to it as well*.

Steps:
- *May need to adjust tahini and water levels to desired consistency*. Consistency should be creamy.
- Dice up tomatoes and cucumbers and combine them together in a medium bowl.
- Place garlic, hot pepper and salt in a mortar.
- Smash until mushed.
- Tahini dressing takes a bit of stirring to become creamy so, you can either add tahini,and water in a bowl by itself and mix or you can add to the same bowl with the cucumbers and tomatoes.
- Add lemon in increments to achieve desired tartness.
- Stir the dressing until smooth and creamy.
- combine everything including garlic/hot pepper together making sure you have added the mint.
- Take tbsp of dried mint, Place in hand and take other hand and rub together, this will sort of grind the mint up smaller and separate it from any stems.
- Place in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve with a swirl of olive oil on top.
- Enjoy!

LEBANESE INSPIRED TUNA SALAD
I made this tuna salad recipe up; it is based on a tabouli recipe. While there is no bulghour in this recipe, you could certainly add it in. (Soak 1 cup bulghour in warm water for 20 minutes. Drain. Squeeze dry. Combine with tuna salad.)

This is what I put together for the Ready Set Cook Summer 2005 recipe contest. It is good by it's self, on crackers, on bread, or on a bed of lettuce. Great for a side dish, a main dish, or a summer day brunch.
