Make
- Heat a skillet or saute pan over medium heat. Add oil. When oil begins to shimmer add beans and za’atar. Cook until beans are hot and begin to pop, ~5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- To assemble salads, top greens with beans, feta, cucumbers, tomatoes and mint. Add pita last, just before serving so it stays crunchy. Toss with tahini dressing and enjoy!
