3 scallions, white and green parts, chopped (1/2 cup)
2 medium tomatoes, seeded and chopped (about 1 pound)
1/2 red onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
Dressing:

1 teaspoon honey
1 clove garlic, grated
1/2 cup well-stirred tahini
1/4 cup cold water
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
Pinch cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions
- For the salad base: Add the radishes, corn, parsley, cucumbers, scallions, tomatoes and red onion to a large bowl.
- For the dressing: Whisk together the lemon juice, honey and garlic in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in the tahini. Whisk in the water a little at a time until the sauce is smooth, creamy and the consistency of slightly whipped cream. Whisk in the cumin, cayenne and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Taste and add more salt if desired.
- For serving: Pour the dressing over the salad and toss with tongs to combine thoroughly; season with salt and pepper. Serve pita chips alongside it for scooping.
