Recipe Notes
Salad can be topped with some roughly chopped feta cheese too.
Other greens like mint leaves and rocket leaves can also be added.
The dish can also be made without the sumac powder, in case it is not available.
Khaboos
is a local Arabic bread, which is like a chapati/roti. It can be replaced with any other croutons or crunchy chips.
