Preparation
Chef’s notes
Za’atar is a Middle Eastern spice blend consisting of dried herbs like oregano and thyme, spices like cumin and sumac, sesame seeds, and salt.
The salad can be made up to 3 days ahead without adding the herbs. Once folded in, it's best the same day as the herbs wilt after being added to the dressing.
