Ingredients
2 cups chopped cucumber
1 cup chopped tomato
1 tsp. salt plus more to taste
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup tahini paste, also called tahina
2 T fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/2 – 1 tsp. ground cumin

Directions
Wash cucumbers and peel if desired. Cut cucumbers into same-size pieces about 3/4 inch. Place in a colander sitting in the sink. Sprinkle with about 1 tsp. salt, mix with your hand so all the cucumber pieces are salted. Let cucumbers stand and release water while you prep other ingredients, or if you have time, let cucumbers drain in the sink for 20-30 minutes. Taste and see if you want to add more ground cumin or a pinch of salt, then set aside to let ingredients blend. Wash tomatoes and cut in half or cut into 3/4 inch pieces Wash radishes, cut off stem and root ends, then cut in half and slice into half moon pieces. Blot cucumbers dry with a paper towel Combine cucumbers, tomatoes, and radishes in a bowl. Stir in enough dressing to moisten Sprinkle salad with Sumac if desired. Serve immediately.
