Zahtar is an aromatic herb and spice mixture used in the Middle East, especially Turkey, Jordan and North Africa. It is used on meats and vegetables, and is also mixed with olive oil to make a spread or dip. Zahtar has a unique zesty/herby flavor. Garnish hummus with extra virgin olive oil and a sprinkle of Zahtar and eat with toasted pita bread for a classic after school snack. Delicious and nutritious!
