Unfortunately this pic doesn't do it justice, but this was one of the better, more satisfying meals I have had in a while. My dh came up with this one.

Take a tomato and slice it in 3rds, in the round. This is like a bun of sorts. Take the bottom piece and put it on a plate, cut side up. Add thin slices of cukes. Take the middle piece of tomato and put it on the cukes. Add red onion rings to the top of that and add the top slice of tomato. garnish plate with more very thin cuke slices, red onion, and parsley. Pour Mexican Tahini dressing over the whole thing. add more parsley on top.

Very impressive! Creative and chic. I love tahini/cumin dressing. Nice touch adding the chili powder.
I've got to try that dressing. Next time I get my hands on a really good tomato I will recreate your masterpiece.
If it's as good as I think it's going to be I'll put it on a summer lunch menu for my S.A.D. girlfriends. :) I'll have to go light on the onions for them. :rolleyes:

Pretty!

We're going through like 10 big tomatoes a day right now between the kids and me, so we'll definitely give it a try. Maybe more thin slices of everything alternated on a plate with dressing drizzled over? Wouldn't be as pretty, though.

Cool that your hubby's coming up with raw meals!

Thanks for posting.
