Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 pounds tomatoes, or a mixture of red and green tomatoes, cored and sliced
4 tablespoons sesame tahini
1/3 cup water

Freshly ground pepper or Aleppo pepper to taste
1 to 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley

I tried this recipe and it was a bit disappointing. The dressing was too thick and the tomatoes were not very flavorful. I think I would have preferred a lighter dressing and more ripe tomatoes.
