Notes

  • Make the Dukkah Ahead of Time: You can make dukkah ahead of time and keep it in the freezer to use as a topping to salads and soups, or to make a crust for baked fish, and more! 
  • Variations: You can use za'atar in place of dukkah in this recipe. You can also add other herbs such as basil or parsley in place of the mint. Add some crumbled feta or baby mozzarella. Or mix in other tomatoes such as cherry or grape tomatoes.
  • Leftovers: store leftover tomato salad in the fridge in a tightly-closed container for up to 2 days.
