Instead of cabbage, I’ve based this version on an Israeli Salad with a tahini dressing, loaded with cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, pickles, parsley, mint, za’atar and a lemon-tahini dressing that is packed with flavor. Scoop it up with pita or add it to your falafel wrap for an insanely delicious (and veggie packed) salad!
