This salad is inspired by the classic Greek salad, but with a few twists. I love the combination of watercress and avocado, and I think the lemon-tahini dressing is the perfect finishing touch. I first made this salad a few years ago when I was looking for a light and refreshing lunch. I had some leftover watercress and avocados, and I wanted to use them up before they went bad. I threw together this salad with a few other ingredients I had on hand, and it was a hit! I've been making it ever since, and it's become one of my favorite summer salads.
