The salad tastes similar to hummus.

Tahini is a paste made of crushed sesame seeds, resembling peanut butter in
texture although not in taste. I think it's possible to substitute sesame
seeds and olive oil for tahini if you can't find this ingredient (sold here
in supermarkets and health food stores), but I'm not sure of the relative
quantities.
