Soak the onion in cold water for ten minutes.

Cut the tomatoes into different shape and slices, depending on their size. Place in a large bowl with the dates, season with salt and pepper and leave to marinate for 10-15 minutes.

Drain any liquid from the tomatoes and add the Capers, lemon juice, drained red onion, mint leaves and mix well to combine everything. Taste and adjust seasoning if required. Then add the Olive Oil and mix thoroughly again.

Place on a large serving platter or divide between bowls. Drizzle the Black Tahini generously over the top.
