Now take care of the vegetables. Wash everything. Then cut the radishes into wedges 4 and the red peppers into strips 5. Then cut the pineapple into slices and from these, into triangles 6. Also, cut the cucumbers into cubes.
Peel and cut the avocado into chunks last 7, and now take care of the sauce. In a bowl, pour the tahini sauce 8, then add the lemon juice 9.
