In reply to Victoria Esipovich. I am a big fan of sumac and did consider adding some, though I don't think when I had it in Israel it was served that way. But I will amend to suggest it as optional. You can certainly get it in some specialty spice stores and is gradually becoming more available. And thanks re eggplant as well - I think some depends how thin the tahini is on the water as it can definitely vary but appreciate the insight.

super but missing one thing!
this dish (traditionally speaking) is missing the sumac (enough to add a bit of red colour I use roughly 1-1.5 tbsp) .. in Germany I find this in the Turkish shops rather easily and also the rare Israeli Markt but I am not certain where in America to purchase this, other than Amazon of course. but this salad is fabulous! and I saw your eggplant recipe.. also great but for the Tahin it is actually quite important that you first mix the tahin with COLD water (to taste of course.. my ratio is something like 3:2 tahin) and then add the lemon, salt and garlic powder. 🙂 or so my in law would say this is the right way haha.

Sounds like you had a wonderful trip. I think trying new dishes while on vacation is the best. Making them at home gives you an easy way to remember your vacation. Love this recipe, so simple and that is perfect for summer.
