    Can substitute cucumbers for Lebanese cucumbers.

    I thought this was a delicious, easy weeknight salad. I used cherry tomatoes. As he says in the headnote, middle-eastern tahinis are better here than Greek.

    We really enjoyed this and it kept for longer (although it does get a bit watery). We didn't have zaatar which is a pity. Chopping everything takes time but it's delicious to have as a quick side throughout the week.

    This is a nice fresh salad. Similar to some other chopped Mediterranean salads I have done. But the tahini really does add a nice twist to it

    Add in some baby cos lettuce, no cucumber… feta not really necessary but would be fine… just used cherry tomatoes… didn’t have peppers but I imagine cooked might be better? The tahini addition was excellent. Went really well with bbq flat chicken and some Greek style chips.

    Nothing earth shattering but a nice salad to have in your repertoire. I had some baby cucumbers which added to the crunch factor.

    Good, fairly typical. Add dill and garlic next time. Fair amount of chopping.

    This was nice, and very easy to do. However for me it's not one of the best salad recipes in this book, I've preferred others.

    Lovely salad to serve alongside just about anything. I chargrilled my red peppers because my husband won’t eat them raw, but otherwise followed the recipe faithfully. Will definitely make again.

    This is a great chopped salad, really fresh and flavorful. I used cherry tomatoes and substituted white wine vinegar for the lemon juice. My husband especially liked it, and this will be the perfect picnic salad come summer.

    Delicious and easy to throw together. Looked as good as it tasted.
