This recipe was sponsored by Mighty Sesame Co Tahini. They make my favorite organic tahini that is always runny and pourable and never cakes or gets dry. I love their tahini most because it only has one ingredient: sesame seeds. Mighty Sesame Co. makes the best gluten free, keto and organic tahini.

What is tahini salad?

Tahini salad is a Middle Eastern specialty that usually consists of cucumbers, tomatoes, herbs, lemon and tahini. It can be eaten as is or in a sandwich or wrap like a condiment. It goes particularly well with falafel or similar spice palettes like shwarma and other grilled proteins. This salad is really easy to make and comes together quickly with just a little chopping and stirring.

Is tahini salad vegan?

This is one of those recipes we call "accidentally vegan". That is because there are no meat or dairy products in the original recipe making it unnecessary to sub any vegan items. So much world cuisine is "accidentally vegan" which is one of the reasons I love eating foods from other countries so much. Their meals are so much more veggie forward than traditional American fare.
