Instructions
Seed and slice the cucumbers: If the cucumber peels are thick or bitter, peel them. If not, leave them on. Slice the cucumbers lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds with a small spoon. Slice the cucumbers again lengthwise and then cut crosswise into 1/4-inch to 1/3-inch cuts.
Toss with salt and let drain: Toss the seeded, diced cucumbers in a colander with the tablespoon of salt.
Let drain in the sink while you chop everything else and make the dressing.
Make the dressing: In a large bowl, mix the tahini, lemon juice and warm water until combined. Stir in the garlic, lemon zest and red onion.
Rinse the cucumbers: Briefly rinse the cucumbers under cool water and pat them dry with paper towels in the colander.
Add the cucumbers to the bowl with the dressing and gently toss to combine well.
Add salt and black pepper to taste.
