A zaatar olive oil mixture is a simple dip made by combining zaatar seasoning with olive oil, or serving them side by side. It is commonly eaten with bread and draws on Levantine food traditions.
To make a zaatar olive oil mixture, put zaatar seasoning in a shallow dish and pour olive oil over it, or place the two in separate sections for dipping. Stir them together if you prefer an evenly blended dip.
Tear off a piece of bread and dip it into the zaatar olive oil mixture. You can blend the seasoning and oil first, or dip into each separately to control how much zaatar clings to each bite.
A zaatar olive oil mixture pairs well with pita, flatbread, sourdough, or another bread sturdy enough for dipping. Warm bread makes the herbs especially aromatic, while crisp toast gives the mixture a different, crunchy texture.
Not always. Zahter can refer to a wild thyme-like herb, while zaatar seasoning is often a blend of herbs, sesame, and spices. The exact ingredients vary by region and product, so the flavor of the olive oil mixture can vary too.
Use an extra-virgin olive oil whose flavor you enjoy on its own. Its fruity or peppery notes will be noticeable alongside the zaatar, so a very intense oil may overpower a delicate herb blend.
Serve a zaatar olive oil mixture with bread, olives, fresh vegetables, or cheese as part of breakfast or a mezze spread. It also works as a dipping sauce beside grilled vegetables or other simple dishes.
Yes, drizzle a zaatar olive oil mixture over salads, cooked vegetables, or soup just before serving. Adding it at the end helps preserve the fresh herbal aroma better than prolonged high-heat cooking.
Keep a zaatar olive oil mixture in a clean, sealed container away from heat and direct light. Use a clean, dry spoon, and refrigerate it if you have added fresh herbs or other moist ingredients.
A mixture made only with dry zaatar seasoning and oil can be kept in a cool, dark cupboard if you will use it soon. Refrigerate mixtures containing fresh herbs or other moist ingredients, since added moisture can shorten their safe storage life.

Zaatar olive oil mixture pairs olive oil with zaatar, a fragrant herb-and-spice blend associated with the Levant. Recipes vary, but zaatar commonly brings together dried herbs, sumac and sesame. It is a simple table staple rather than a cooked dish, and the exact balance depends on the blend and how much oil is added.
The oil softens the herbs’ sharp, savoury aroma. In the Levant it is often served with bread for breakfast or as part of a shared spread; elsewhere, it makes an easy dip or finishing drizzle. It is rich in fat and energy, with 520 calories per 100 g. Serve a modest amount with fresh vegetables and bread for a fragrant accompaniment, rather than treating it as a main dish.
