I have fallen in love with this salad. It is so good. There are many spices used, the best vinegar I ever found, and the crunchy tanoor bread…incorporated together…yummmmm….Now here is what I used to make mine.
3 tomatoes diced up
1 big onion diced up
2 cucumbers peeled and diced up
1 bunch of fresh parsley
1 1/2 pieces of tanoor bread of some cut up pita
parmesan cheese
sumac
olive oil
vinegar
butnig-(iraqi dried wild mint)
zataar-(thyme sesame blend)
The first thing to do would be to prepare your bread by cutting it up into squares and mixing some sumac and parmesan with it and then adding olive oil….blend well
lay it out on a cookie sheet and let it turn crunchy
chop up your tomatoes, onion, and cucumbers and put into your salad bowl
chop up your parsley and add it to the salad
add butnig and zataar, about 2 tsps of each, depending on your desire mix it all up into the salad
then add vinegar and oil according to your taste….we do equal parts in our salads.
by this time the bread should be done and you can remove it, let it cool down and add it into your salad and mix all together.
Serve this with anything….It truly is an awesome salad!!!
