inferior)

Olive Oil/Zaatar/Garlic Dip

Notes: In our house, all salad dressings are homemade. The majority of our family members are salad fans, and a selection of dressings is usually available at the Shabbos table. Sometimes I double, or even triple, the recipe. The dressings keep well in the fridge for a long time, since they contain vinegar. We love veggies so much that this year I decided to try organic container farming in our courtyard: tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, carrots, green onions, dill, parsley, basil, lavender and thyme have taken over the space. (We also have a large pomegranate tree and flowers that grace the courtyard.) As a result, we have all the insects that farmers battle, and the relentless sun that calls for constant watering. Two things I've cultivated in the process - besides the plants - are my respect for farmers and my appreciation of Hashem's wonderful gifts to us. The homegrown produce also gives us the opportunity to fulfill the mitzva of maasering (tithing).
B'tayavon!
