- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 english cucumber, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup dry-roasted pine nuts
For the dressing
- ¼ cup tahini
- 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice (from about 1 large lemon)
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small garlic clove, finely grated
- 1 ½ tbsp za'atar

Instructions
- 1
Fill a medium saucepan with enough water to cover the eggs by 1 inch and bring to a boil over high heat. Gently lower the eggs in with a slotted spoon, reduce the heat to a steady simmer, and cook for 7 minutes for a just-set yolk. Transfer the eggs immediately to a bowl of ice water and let them sit for 5 minutes, then peel and halve lengthwise.

While the eggs cook, toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant, about 3–4 minutes. Watch closely, as they can brown quickly. Transfer to a plate to cool.
