And good news: Za'atar, a blend of herbs (in this case thyme, though the recipe varies), sumac, and toasted sesame seeds, is easier to find than ever in specialty stores or online. Once you have it, all it takes is mixing it up with some olive oil and drizzling it all over this simple homemade flatbread. You can even experiment with different flavors of olive oil if this snack has become your go-to.

Chef Fouad Kassab's family serves this iconic Lebanese snack during the autumn olive harvest, using the freshest olive oils the country has to offer. Though your olive oil may not be as fresh as Chef Kassab's, once June hits your tomatoes can be right off the vine. We're pretty sure nothing beats a summer tomato, except for a summer tomato sliced on top of a za'atar-slickened flatbread.
