Instructions

1. 1.
   Prepare your brown rice according to package instructions, ensuring it remains fluffy and not clumpy. Spread it out on a plate to cool slightly. This prevents the rice from becoming too sticky when combined with other ingredients.
2. 2.
   While the rice is cooling, wash and halve the cherry tomatoes. For a burst of flavor and color, ensure each tomato is cut cleanly, allowing the juice to mix slightly with the rice later, enhancing the overall taste.
3. 3.
   Dice the cucumber into small, uniform pieces and shred the carrots finely. Uniformity in size ensures an even distribution of flavors and a pleasant eating experience.
4. 4.
   Combine the cooked, cooled brown rice with the halved tomatoes, diced cucumber, and shredded carrots in a mixing bowl. Toss gently to mix the ingredients, being careful not to crush the tomatoes.
5. 5.
   Drizzle the tahini over the top of the rice mixture, allowing its creamy texture to bind the components together slightly. Serve immediately, as the fresh ingredients are best enjoyed when crisp. If the tahini is too thick, consider adding a few drops of lemon juice or water, thinning it to your desired consistency.
