Because the flavours here are so clean, you truly want only the best ingredients for this salad. Dukkah won't keep fresh as long as other, nut-free spice mixtures... But then again, it also won't stay in you cupboards as long.

Steps
Preheat a pan to medium heat. Roast sesame seeds for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Set aside.
Roast coriander & cumin seeds and peppercorns until fragrant. Set aside and let cool.
Once cooled, combine the seeds with the rest of the dukkah ingredients, and mill in a spice grinder or or pulse in a food processor until a coarse mixture develops (take care not to overprocess, or you'll be left with a paste). Pack in a jar.
Meanwhile, slice tomatoes and avocado, and arrange on a large platter. Sprinkle with dukkah, fresh dill, and season with olive oil, lemon, salt and pepper. Let macerate for just 2 minutes, and serve. Set the dukkah seasoning mixture at the table, so people can generously season their own plates.

Jason Sandeman on 2015-09-03 (5 stars): I had to look up the first set of ingredients in google translate. LOL. I have never heard of Dukkah before, but after today I am putting it on the list to try. I love finding out new flavors, so a bit of research is in order for me here. Thank you for introducing me to it!
Kellie MacMillan on 2015-08-31 (5 stars): Wow, these combos of flavors make my mouth water. I've heard of dukkah before but haven't had it before and that will be something I have to change. Unless you want to send me some in the mail. ha,ha.
I was working on a recipe today and was thinking the exact same thing as you, 'You truly need the best ingredients for this simple salad, but it will blow you away. Because once you taste this tomato avocado salad with dukkah seasonings, you’ll wonder where it’s been your whole life.'
I was away on vacation and had some pretty bland food, it was so nice to get home and have the food dance on my palate just by using great quality ingredients.
