Notes

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will the ezme last and can I make it ahead? You can make this dish 1 day ahead of serving. It is always best as fresh as possible.
Can I freeze ezme? Do not freeze this dish as it will will be completely wilted and soggy when thawed.
How long will the ezme last in the refrigerator? I have eaten this the following day and it is still very crisp and fresh. More than 1 day old it will not be nearly as crisp and will needed tossed.
