A lettuce salad is often pegged as ‘boring’ or ‘bland’ but this cos and green bean salad with Middle Eastern yoghurt dressing is anything but. In this episode, Emma says ‘Start with the best quality ingredients and the cooking part is easy!’, we couldn’t agree more, Emma.
By just adding a few ingredients that complement each other well, each one is highlighted and not lost.
Emma adds the crowning glory to this crispy green salad by topping it with a zesty garlic yoghurt dressing with a Middle Eastern twist by adding our Middle Eastern Za’atar. This exotic spice blend incorporates the fragrance of herbs thyme and oregano, the tang of sumac and the crunch of sesame seeds.
Pair this salad with some grilled lamb or chicken or serve as a cooling, fresh side to some hot curry.
