Israeli Salad with Tahini Lemon Dressing

After three years of contributing nearly 200 of my favorite recipes and strategies for luring kids into the kitchen, this is my last post as a weekly contributor to Kitchen Explorers. I want to thank you for reading and commenting on my posts, cooking and sharing my recipes, and making Kitchen Explorers such a popular online destination for hungry and adventurous families.

I hope youll continue to enjoy the recipes and videos on Kitchen Explorers and will visit me from time to time over at The Six OClock Scramble, where I continue to post family-friendly recipes and advice each week.

Im optimistic that youll continue to make time to cook and eat meals and snacks as a family no matter how busy your life or how young or old your kids.  I have found that magic happens when we prepare and enjoy meals together.

For my final post I am sharing one of my familys favorite summertime recipes, Israeli Salad with Tahini-Lemon Dressing.

When my family travelled in Israel last summer, we were astounded by the endless array of beautiful, healthy and creative salads, even at breakfast. Here Ive recreated one of our favorites that we enjoyed at Israels homegrown version of Starbucks, called Aroma. Cut the tomatoes, cucumbers and onions into small pieces for the best flavor and presentation. Serve it with warm pita bread and hummus.
