Lebanese farmer’s salad with tahini dressing (salata felaheen)

Toss together 2 cups chopped cucumber, 1 cup red radish (cut into half-moons), ½ cup diced bell pepper,  and 1 cup chopped parsley.  Mash together 2 cloves garlic and 1 tsp salt, then whisk in ¼ cup tahini and 5 Tbsp lemon juice.  Pour dressing over salad and serve.  This recipe is from Classic Lebanese Cuisine by Kamal Al-Faqih, except we omitted tomatoes and scallions.
