Cold Sandwiches with Zaatar

Cultural Context

Zaatar, a blend of herbs, sesame seeds, and sumac, adds a unique flavor that pairs beautifully with fresh vegetables and cheese. These sandwiches reflect the Mediterranean emphasis on fresh, wholesome ingredients and are perfect for warm weather. Today, variations can be found in many Middle Eastern restaurants and homes around the world, showcasing the versatility of zaatar beyond traditional uses.
