Step 1
Halve the eggplant lengthwise. Place cut-side down on a broiler pan. Broil 5 inches from heat until skin blackens and flesh softens, 8–10 minutes.
Step 2
Cool for 2 minutes. Scoop the soft flesh into a food processor, leaving charred skin behind.
Step 3
Add tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, and a large pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute.
Step 4
Transfer to a shallow bowl. Make a well in the center and drizzle with olive oil.
Step 5
Arrange cucumber slices and chopped tomato around the dip. Serve immediately or chilled.
