Ingredients
Essential:
- Any combination of fresh cilantro, parsley, mint, basil, or dill (about 3 bunches total)
- One 8 oz [225 g] block of feta -or- extra virgin olive oil*
- 8 pitas, lawash (the soft kind, not crackers), or another soft flatbread
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Optional:
- Marinated beets
- Sliced radishes
- Cherry tomatoes
- Walnuts
- Cucumber spears
- Limes
- Additional herbs like purslane, tarragon, watercress, or fenugreek
Instructions
- After washing and drying the herbs, remove any large stems and arrange the herbs on a plate (in a big pile with room to the side, or in a wreath with room in the center for the feta). Place the feta, marinated beets, radishes, or tomatoes on the plate, if using. If you’re not using feta, drizzle the herbs with a little olive oil.
- To eat, take a small piece of pita, place a little piece of feta on it, and pile on the herbs. Give these instructions to guests so they know that they should not be shy with the herbs.
Notes
*You could also alternatively substitute your favorite mild vegan cheese (e.g., a vegan cream cheese or vegan mozzarella)
