Tasty Tips

Za’atar is a traditional Middle Eastern seasoning blend commonly used in marinades, dips, salads, egg dishes and as a garnish.

Create your own za'atar spice mix! Combine 2 tablespoons sumac, 1 tablespoon dried thyme, 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, 1 tablespoon dried marjoram and 1 tablespoon dried oregano in a small mason jar. Store tightly sealed for up to 1 year.
