Don’t like mayo? Try Za’atar Potato Salad!
Anticipating of the arrival of the Palestinian Farmer’s Box, we were excited to try this flavorful za’atar potato salad. It’s a zesty alternative to traditional mayo-heavy potato salads, made with za’atar, a savory Middle Eastern spice mix of fragrant thyme, sumac and sesame seeds. We added Equal Exchange’s Palestinian Virgin Olive Oil to the recipe for an extra punch of flavor and fair trade goodness.
