What to do with that TAHINI sitting in your fridge - Chicken Salad Lettuce Cups

Do you have a tub of tahini sitting in the fridge that you bought for one recipe and you don't know what to do with it? Here's a recipe you can make that is super fast and easy and even more DELICIOUS! Do yourself a favor and make double the amount for future lunches.

The nutty, herbal, tangy flavors of za'atar, a Middle Eastern spice blend of thyme, sesame, and sumac, brightens this tahini-based chicken salad. I added cucumbers for extra crunch and some grape tomatoes, but RED GRAPES would also be delicious.

INGREDIENTS:
1/4 cup Tahini
3 Tbsp Lemon juice
1 garlic clove, minced
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 tsp Za'atar Spice Mix

6 Romaine leaves
1 cup sliced cucumber
1 cup chopped grape tomatoes

DIRECTIONS:
1. For the dressing, in a medium bowl whisk together tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, the za'atar, and mustard until well combined. If your tahini is very thick, whisk in cold water, 1 Tbsp at a time, to reach a smooth, creamy consistency. Whisk in cumin and salt.
2. Add chicken, celery, and chives to the dressing. Stir to combine.
3. Fill the Romaine lettuce leaves with chicken salad and top with cucumber and grape tomatoes (or grapes). If you like, finish with additional za'atar. Makes 6 Lettuce cups.
