  • 1/2 tsp dried mint
  • pinch of salt

Directions:

  1. Peel your arabic pita bread into two large round pieces. Lay them flat on top of each other like a venn diagram so it makes a wider area to stuff inside the pita.
  2. Spread the labneh evenly in the middle so its nice and thin, but not too thin, and not too thickly spread
  3. Add a drizzle of olive oil, and salt
  4. Next, add your slices tomatoes and cucumbers on top of the labneh. Season again with a little more salt, then add the zaatar all over the pita and vegetables
  5. Fold a half inch piece over on each the right and left side, then tuck and roll the pita tightly like you would with a sushi roll.
  6. Carefully cut the ends off, then begin slicing into one inch pieces. 
  7. Plate and sprinkle with a little more olive oil and zaatar, and enjoy!
