This simple dip comes together in seconds with za'atar and olive oil. In Jordanian cuisine, it is traditionally served with warm bread. Notes of thyme, sesame, and sumac make it a light start to a meal.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Mix the ingredients

2 min

Mix the olive oil and za'atar in a small bowl.

2

Taste and adjust

2 min

Add salt if desired and taste; adjust as needed since salt levels vary by za'atar brand.

3

Serve

1 min

Transfer the dip to a small bowl and serve immediately with warm bread.

Reminder

Allergen: contains sesame; anyone with a sesame allergy should avoid it. Important: Salt levels in za'atar vary by brand, so taste before adding salt. Do not make the dip ahead of time; the olive oil can absorb too much of the za'atar's aroma and dull the flavor.
