×every culture has their version of cool tomato salad. This one riffs on the classic Israeli style. Inspired by Alon Shaya’s new cookbook Shaya
Combine the red onion in a large bowl with the lemon zest and juice, tossing well to marinate onion.
While the onion marinates, chop the cucumbers, tomatoes, and parsley, and add to the bowl.
Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle on the zaatar and season to taste with salt.
Toss together well and adjust the seasoning with more olive oil/zaatar/ salt as desired.
Serve, spooning up lots of dressing with each portion (I like to serve this in teacups).
