Traditional Za'atar Mix
Lebanese traditional za'atar is very simple: its ingredients are known and fixed, limited to za'atar, sesame, and sumac with no additions. With a drizzle of olive oil, you will make the best za'atar sandwich, where the flavor of the za'atar itself stands out rather than the other add-ins.
