The dish is simple but nutritious.

Hi Shira, you could indeed use ground zaatar, although I imagine the taste will be a little different. You definitely can find ground zaatar served with yogurt, though — think labaneh with zaatar and olive oil.

If I don’t have fresh zatar leaves, can I use ground zatar (like the bottle I have in my spice rack?). If so, how much could I use? Excited to try this since SuperSol Yashir accidentally sent me plain 3% yogurts and I had no idea what to do with them!

Thanks! I just bought it at a plant nursery across from the old central bus station. There are two very good nurseries there.

Beautiful picture! Where did you find your zaatar plant?`I used to buy it fresh in the Arab shuqs when living in the north.

Thanks, that’s actually a little bud vase. Not so practical for eating, but good for photos. My zaatar plant actually kicked the bucket shortly after I made this

what a cute way of presenting the dip. I love fresh zaatar and use it often (its one of the few plants that didn’t dry out this summer)
