It's a Middle Eastern spice mix made with sumac, toasted sesame seeds, salt, thyme, marjorm, oregano...

It's delicious over tehina or humus.

Made into a paste with olive oil and spread over chicken. Or as a dip for bread.

Sprinkled on salads or veggies.

With pita.

In a sandwich with cream cheese.

Over feta cheese.

Maybe sprinkled over a potato soup.

Zaatar goes nicely in tomato soup. (It has oregano hence a good match with pizza or things w/tomato).
For chicken soup, I would use hawadji (more turmeric and cumine), for cholent I usually use cinnamon/paprika/cumin

I sprinkle small amount in potato salad to "liven up" a bit. You can sprinkle in plain green salad or israeli salad.
Also goes nicely sprinkled on fish before grilling/pan-frying. Ditto for omelettes/scrambled egg, sausages. Makes a nice flavouring addition to cheese toast as well.

Classic way is to dent a shallow puddle on hummous, pour small amount of virgin olive oil and sprinkle zaatar. Go easy on the amount.

It's very good sprinkled generously over pita, or in the pocket, or you can use other bread. Drizzle with olive oil and heat in the toaster oven till warm.
