We always make this simple salad in Lebanon with bbq.
We use Lebanese wild thyme leaves which are a bit bigger and longer than the one you find in the UK but of course you can use either as they both have very similar taste. Or simply use oregano leaves 🍃

🍃🍃 Zaatar = thyme
Usually when we say “green” zaatar, we’re referring to to the leaves. And when we say “zaatar” alone, we’re referring to the famous spices mix.
