Tomato & Cucumber Salad is a super refreshing dish. It is simple and perfect for cooling off on a hot summer day or anytime you are craving a light side dish. This salad comes together very quickly and works well with many meals (such as mujadara)! 

Manaqeesh Za'atar is a popular Middle Eastern flatbread that is topped with a mix of olive oil and za'atar. Think pizza but with a za'tar topping. The za'atar mix is made from ground up oregano, sumac, toasted sesame seeds, and salt. ​

It's usually enjoyed at breakfast with cucumbers, tomatoes, green onions, radishes, olives, and a cup of tea. Works well for lunch or for sharing at social gatherings. 

I prepared this summer salad for a 4th of July friends' gathering, and let me tell you it was a hit! It is a very festive and fresh salad that can be thrown together quickly! The sweetness of the watermelon combined with the saltiness of feta cheese, the crunchy cucumbers, and the mint notes bring together a fun, nutritious, and delicious salad.
