    Ever since my first taste as a child, I fell in love with zaatar. One of my favorite breakfast, snack, and really anytime meals growing up consisted of warm bread dipped into olive oil and covered in the seasoning.

    As I got older and avocado toast became a "thing," I found that zaatar paired perfectly with the creamy, rich fruit. The tomatoes and creamy lemon tahini drizzle in this dish balance out the savory notes in zaatar. For the creamiest and best tasting tahini sauce, it is important to use a super smooth, high quality tahini.
