This sounds so flavorful. I can't resist it because of the sumac! If I can't find the watercress or purslane what would you suggest? I am anxious to try this. A 5.

Hey Jim hon - I made this on Sunday and (alas!) I don't access to pomegranates this time of the year and I had to sub watercress for the purslane - but I did get some great-looking organic watercress. (I have ordered purslane seeds and will have my own purslane stash in time. Yep.)

Anyway, this is a stellar salad, m'dear. That dressing is so wonderful and everyone had a fit over the combinations of flavors. Divine. I made with your Baked Stuffed Kibbee (for the second time) and your sister's recipe for Za'taar Bread (see Jim's recipes for both) and it was all so perfect. I wish I could give you another 5 forks, but darn...they just won't let me. I can't wait to add the pomegranate to this party. Thanks so much! ;-)~ Vickie
