"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."

Because of the Tahini Dressing, this Israeli salad was so much more deliciously Middle Eastern than the others listed. Left out the potatoes & beets, tho, that was questionable to me.. Revised the salad by: Adding 1C Italian Parsley, 30 Kalamatas and extra garlic in the dressing. So many vegetables can be experimented with in this salad! Thanks.
