Cheese with Za’atar and Olive Oil

A Light and Healthy Ramadan Appetizer

Cheese with za’atar and olive oil is one of the healthy and light Ramadan appetizers commonly served during the holy month—especially at suhoor. It provides the body with energy thanks to its richness in protein and calcium. It is also delicious, quick to prepare, and can be served with bread or tortillas.
