This is the king of salads. It’s hearty, healthy, DELICIOUS, and all the ingredients work so well together. Every inch of this salad gets coated in delicious flavor, from the Za’atar spice blend to the salty, crumbly feta cheese. This is a salad that you’re going to actually want to eat – often!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like serving it on a platter or large, shallow bowl so all the ingredients are featured prominently and everyone can serve themselves without feeling cheated out of the good stuff that often falls to the bottom of a deep salad bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, chickpeas are tossed with olive oil and za’atar in a bowl, then roasted. While they’re in the oven, the greens and other ingredients are tossed in the same bowl, along with any za’atar remains coating the bottom of the bowl, resulting in a flavorful mix that is sure to become your new favorite way to eat salad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is za’atar, you ask? It’s a delicious Middle Eastern spice blend that you can likely pick up at your local grocery store already mixed up, ready to go. In this post I’ll explain how to make this salad, some more about the wonder spice mix that is za’atar, and how to make the salad more hearty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
