This Mediterranean salad is a satisfying combination of fresh and cooked wholesome ingredients, perfect for a complete meal for lunch or dinner. The crispness of pickles, tomatoes, red peppers, and green onions contrasts beautifully with the tenderness of steamed potatoes, carrots, and green peas. The addition of boiled eggs and tuna provides protein and flavor, creating a balanced medley of colors and tastes. The salad is brought together with a generous, healthy vinaigrette made from homemade tahini sauce, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar. It's versatile and can be customized with your favorite vegetables or adjusted to suit your taste preferences.
